Should the government impose stricter fuel efficiency standards on vehicles?

Fuel efficiency standards set the required average fuel economy for vehicles, aiming to reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Proponents argue that it helps reduce emissions, save consumers money on fuel, and decrease reliance on fossil fuels. Opponents argue that it raises production costs, leading to higher vehicle prices, and may not have a significant impact on overall emissions.

Yes

 @B7B6BXDagreed…8mos8MO

Were facing a global crisis with climate change and we should do what ever we can to reduce our emissions.

No

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...1yr1Y

Yes, and also invest in high speed rail and public transportation

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...1yr1Y

No, provide incentives instead of penalties to create fuel alternatives

 @B86VMW7disagreed…6mos6MO

A carrot and stick approve to climate change issues would be more effective then going down one singular route

 @B7ZB3Z5Social Democratsdisagreed…7mos7MO

We need to do what we can to reduce our carbon emissions in a time of make or break in relation to our current climate situation

No, and eliminate the EPA

 @B7VXC44disagreed…7mos7MO

The government should impose stricter fuel efficiency standards on vehicles as we are facing a global climatic crisis.

I think they should invest in speed rail and public transportation before they impose strict fuel efficiency standards on vehicles.

 @9ZX996Ganswered…1yr1Y

Yes and the government should prioritize the transition to walkable cities with robust public transportation

 @9ZGNXF6answered…2yrs2Y

yes regulate on newly manufactured vehicles,
however less strict emissions standards on older cars in NCT as these vehicles are often under ownership of young, elderly, and generally low income drivers who can't afford a brand new, fuel- efficient vehicle.

 @9YM9G5Wanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, with financial assistance to facilitate the change

 @9YLXM6Q answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but not for farm vehicles, vans etc. used for work

 @9P3JND3answered…2yrs2Y

I mean does it really matter it’s the cars owner’s fault for how Gas/fuel efficient their vehicles are

 @9NXPTSZanswered…2yrs2Y

The government should look more at the fuels being produced than the cars themselves.

 @9NMKNXDanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but with consideration or possibly discounts based on income

 @9NM4C3K answered…2yrs2Y

Yes but make exemptions for those in rural areas or those in areas without public transport.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Do you think the push for higher fuel efficiency is helping or hurting the shift towards electric vehicles?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

In your opinion, is it fair to require older, less fuel-efficient cars to be phased out if it helps the environment?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Should consumers be more concerned about the environmental impact of their car purchases or the financial impact?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Do you trust car manufacturers to innovate and improve efficiency on their own, or does the government need to push them?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How do you think your daily life would change if all vehicles became more fuel-efficient tomorrow?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Is personal responsibility or government regulation more effective in reducing overall fuel consumption?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How might higher vehicle prices from fuel efficiency regulations impact families with lower incomes?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Can stricter fuel efficiency rules really make a difference in fighting climate change, or are there bigger issues at play?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Do you believe people are more influenced by fuel costs or environmental impact when choosing a car, and what about you?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How would you feel about paying more upfront for a car if it saved you fuel money in the long run?
