Isn't CAFE standard a sad joke? The most any company was fined was
DaimlerChrysler for $8.5 million last year. Isn't that what's called
chump change? So, there's little incentive for any company to increase
fuel economy, but in case any company really cared, they could simply
increase the price of fuel in-efficient vehicles by the amount
proportional to projected negative impact on average corporate fuel
economy and reduce the price of fuel efficient vehicles by the amount
proportional to projected positive impact on average corporate fuel
economy. That way, the auto-makers can let the market decide how much it
values fuel economy.
Again, this trick would have minimal impact on sales of any cars because
the fines are so miniscule.
Cheers,
Jae
