Trump administration decides gas guzzlers are back in fashion
Apparently, the best way to make cars affordable is to make sure they burn through cash at the pump.
The Trump administration just hit the brakes on fuel efficiency standards for new vehicles. The logic? If cars don't have to meet those pesky high-efficiency benchmarks, they’ll be cheaper to build and sell to the public.
Critics are already lining up to point out that burning more gas might actually end up costing everyone more in the long run, not to mention the environmental headache. It is a bold strategy to trade future air quality for a slightly lower sticker price today.
Gas station owners are likely the only ones throwing a party for this policy shift.
