Sounds good to me. Let the market decide what cars should be produced and sold. Not some arbitrary and unreachable standards.

Washington • Moving forcefully against Obama-era environmental rules, President Donald Trump is set to announce in Michigan plans to re-examine federal requirements that regulate the fuel efficiency of new cars and trucks.

Trump is expected to reveal his plans during an appearance Wednesday at the American Center for Mobility in Detroit where he'll challenge the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) emissions targets that were a centerpiece of former President Barack Obama's strategy to combat global warming.

The rollback underscores the Trump administration's rejection of mainstream climate science in an effort to boost economic growth.

When you use personal attacks in every sentence you write they tend to lose impact, and yes I could personally benefit from this if it does something to help oil prices get back up. Aside from that I happen to like proper American cars with big V8 engines and such. It's good to see they have a chance at not being driven to extinction by overbearing regulations.
He's right, it's a pretty fucking stupid thing to support.

The rules only mean when designing your V8 they have to try to get it to do more miles to the gallon...

more dependence on foreign fossil fuels, higher prices at the pump, gas shortages, and more trips to the gas station will help the fuck out of those struggling rust belt families.

Tampon Timmee wants to drive a steam engine. All those coal jobs...

In case you didn't notice we have a HUGE, and I mean MASSIVE surplus of oil at the moment. The situation is getting so bad that oil prices are falling and the major oil companies such as XOM/BP/Chevron/etc are taking a beating in the stock market. Opec are looking like they might even throw in the towel on limiting production, because it's been in vain so far. We're producing tons of oil domestically, and they just found another gigantic oil reserve right over in Alaska. The peak oil stuff is a lie. We have oil to run our cars for hundreds of years.

Great idea. With Trump, we can turn a 30 year supply into 10.

Plus, it's got electrolytes.

you said we have a HUGE MASSIVE SURPLUS!!!!! of oil.

we don't. we import billions of barrels every year.
Well, more accurately the world has a surplus of oil which is expected to last for some time. I only brought this up after you mentioned gas shortages and such. Unless something changes, we should be looking forward to decades of relatively cheap oil.

we'd have decades more if we adhered to high fuel efficiency standards. but you're too stupid to get this.

There is a surplus of production, dimwit. Oil is a scarce and finite resource.

Have you tried Viagara?

So you are using "we" to denote the entire human race? That's like saying that I live in a mansion because my neighbor does.

WE (the citizens of this country) don't have dick or oil. You think if we (again, the people who live here, not the Swedes or the Lost Tribe of Antarctica) have this massive surplus of oil, why would be be doing things like fracking and trying to extract it out of oil sands?

I'll hold your hand with this one, because you clearly don't even have a tenuous grip of how, well, most things work.

We wouldn't be doing all those other extraction methods if we could just drill down and get it, because the other methods are way harder and we no like hard. Which is also why we are even talking about fossil fuels in 2017 to begin with.

Also, the whole "run our cars for 100 years" thing is the dumbest thing I have ever heard and I just got done responding to someone who just said America was "free" before prohibition. Congrats, you won something.

And we would keep more money rather than giving it to oppressive regimes and ISIS. Yeah, ISIS. Bad hombres. Oh, the air would be cleaner too.

Clown, your repugnant ignorance merits a personal attack.

Proper American cars? buy a calendar you ossified turd.
Post stinks like the sepsis you acquired from sucking down the orange buffoon's swamp water
the thing going extinct is your fucking idiot beliefs.
