Trump has moved to significantly reduce automobile fuel efficiency standards, according to a Saturday rant he posted on Truth Social. In addition to the environmental impact, the government’s own analysis shows the decision will drastically increase gas prices. truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT...

There is no conceivable good reason for this. It’s just because they can. Some os us actually give a shit about the hellscape we’re leaving our grandchildren. I hate these people.

High gas prices will lower fuel consumption. And high has prices will lower demand for low mileage vehicles. Mr. Super Intelligence strikes again. #GTS #Blues

Maybe Trump and his toadies will celebrate reducing auto fuel efficiency standard in their fleet of new gas guzzling Cadillac Escalades. bsky.app/profile/mind...

Maybe the Trump administration can show Republican midterm voters how well they understand the impact of gas prices by touring the country in their fleet of 250 new, gas guzzling, $127, 459 (avg. price) Cadillac Escalades.

…not to mention hobble the American car industry that will not be able to sell their inferior cars ANYWHERE else in the world. Fuel-efficiency is NOT only about the climate, its about competing with global carmakers who are leaving the US behind in the dust. Republican death cult on full display.

All you hear from people holding back tears at the gas pump is that they long for the days when their cars got half as many miles per gallon.

It is ABUNDANTLY clear that the orange turd HATES not only amerika, he HATES all of YOU not in the 1% and has NO interest in protections for ANYTHING

If you needed an answer as to why US car makers fail to meet targets outside of the US, this is very good indicator as to why. While the rest of the world concentrates on efficiency, hybrid and electric alternatives, the US under Trump goes Jurassic in terms of the evolution of the industry.
