That might (probably won’t but I can be hopeful) lead to less SUVs because the manufacturer can reasonably hit the milage requirements of cars.

Just a hunch but I’m thinking higher gas prices will create a demand for fuel efficient cars

The US might be a kakistocracy, or a idiocracy. Maybe a pedocracy. Probably a bad mix of the worst though.

Cuz nothing says, “lower gas prices” than increased fuel consumption!

Won’t affect prices for a few years. That way they can blame it on democrats later on.
