Question

SORRY I MEAN CAR NOT CAN duh

btw this is for an essay, and i just need some help coming up with the reasons k

Answer 1

Doesn't the government mandate enough in your life now? Why would you want them to add more requirements?

Answer 2

There is already what's called the "cafe" requirement of something like 26 MPG.

The U.S. Govt says auto makers must have a "corporate average fuel economy" (cafe).

They are able to do this in some cases by rebadging Toyotas that get GREAT MPG and calling them Novas or GEO's or whatever.

I owned a '87 Nova, which was a Toyota Corolla, that got around 36 MPG, and ran down the freeway with the big boys.

Answer 3

Of course I do.
I had a '74 Pinto that got 32 MPG.
That was thirty years ago, when two ton 440 cubic inch Chrysler's got 18 MPG.
Instead of electronic everything that they shove into cars these days to entice you into buying them, they should be putting that R&D into real world Engine technoligy.
And maybe put some money into butt corks so they wouldn't have some oil company executive's head stuck up it.
Modern cars have fallen into the pit of vipers called bean counters, that are more concerned about bottom line profits and planned obsolecence.
Stiff millage increase programs would help turn around the Enron based global automobile manufacturing system that has been created by cheap manufacturing techniques, and help put the one pasenger SUV in it's rightful place (history)

Answer 4

Nope. If you have the cash to blow on a car that uses a ton of gas, then that should be your perrogative.

A better solution would be to create incentives for people to buy fuel-efficient cars and/or raise the tax on gasoline. One could be used to pay for the other. Increased taxes on gasoline would also entice people to use public transportation.

This way, car manufacturers are being forced to respond to consumer demand rather than build cars to a seemingly arbitrary government requirement.

Answer 5

Car? Maybe.

Truck? No.
Lets see a car haul 4000 lbs. of building materials.
