Next president if a Dem will revert it back wait and see.

[DeSexGuide]

It's time these excessive fuel economy rules were relaxed.

Do you think it is related to the shortage of oil in the world due to the Iran war?

[tacnet]

Why would you want less efficient cars ???

Not only is that bad for the planet, its bad for the consumer especially in times like these when a war half way round the world can spike the price of gas

Who's going to want to buy a gas guzzling car these days ??

[unicams]

The world is suffering from the effects of global warming caused by burning fossil fuels, high gas prices, gas and diesel shortages due to the wars happening and we are reducing the mile per gallon cars should achieve, this really makes no sense.

I know you'll hate me for this post tacnet, but people want good old V8 power myself included, I would never buy a 4 banger no matter how many horses it puts out with super chargers and turbos, the minimum is a high performance 6 cylinder. But I always get a v*.

"When Ram brought the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 engine back from the dead, customers showed their appreciation by cracking open their wallets and ordering more than 10,000 trucks in 24 hours. The buzz continues and it’s helping to lift the new 1500 Rumble Bee.

Within 90 minutes, the entire 2026 calendar-year allocation of the Rumble Bee with the 5.7-liter V8 was sold out. The buying frenzy didn’t stop there as the order book was filled through March 2027 within 24 hours."
