Quote:The Higher the MPG Standard, the less fuel used. The Less Fuel used = less in gasoline taxes collected.  So..... to upkeep all those roads and bridges like they say they do, they'll have to raise fuel taxes which = MORE $$$$ spent by the consumer which would off-set any savings in increased mileage.

 

 

Quote:The title is accurate. Trump isn't dumping all fuel-efficiency standards, only the ridiculous ones imposed in the last eight years.

See, this is bull crap. I drive a 2002 Chevy Silverado 1500. It is not a gas saver with a V8 and 5.3L engine. I get decent MPG on the highway but it sucks in the city. If they want to tax anyone they can tax the people who drive all those fancy fuel efficient cars and leave me the hell alone. My truck is paid for and I am not going to take on a car payment just to "save the planet" and still get screwed over anyway. 

 

Also, NC is in the top 10 in gas tax in the country right behind FL, with my county being among the highest cost of fuel in the state. They can kiss my butt.
