Daisy Lane 🌼🇨🇦 @daisy-lane70.bsky.social · 28/09/2026↪ Replying to @npr.orgAs a consumer though, isn’t that one of the top things you look at when comparing new vehicles? I know it’s at the top of my list. If you’re not competitive in fuel economy then you are not getting my attention. Especially if you’re going to buy in times of high fuel prices. 010
Power Vibe · by NoMAGA @powervibe.bsky.social · 28/09/2026↪ Replying to @npr.orgA lower sticker price can still mean higher costs over the car’s life: weaker efficiency standards shift more of the bill to fuel, while pollution costs are spread across the public. 130

Dirk Wright @dirk11w.bsky.social · 28/09/2026↪ Replying to @npr.orgCurrent CAFE standards enabled larger trucks and SUVs that guzzle gas, because of a loophole for "light trucks." So, the current system is broken. I'm not sure this is the solution to that problem though. 020

Fondled J Hump @scouredmind.bsky.social · 28/09/2026↪ Replying to @npr.orgNo. What will make cars more affordable is if car manufacturers stop force feeding us a ton of features we don't need as standard equipment. Also, stop buying 85k $ pickup trucks. They'll make cheaper vehicles if you just stop amassing debt to buy one. 040

barliman.bsky.social @barliman.bsky.social · 28/09/2026↪ Replying to @npr.orgLMAO @ "reviving the beating heart of American manufacturing." Now US companies can lose even more market share to vehicles from counties with stricter fuel economy standards than the US, like Europe and Japan. Of course, he can fix that with import tariffs that'll raise the price of US built cars. 010
