WASHINGTON, July 16 (Reuters) - Automakers face no fines for failures to meet fuel efficiency rules dating back to the 2022 model year under a law signed by President Donald Trump this month, U.S. regulators said.


The tax and budget bill approved by Trump ends penalties for not meeting Corporate Average Fuel Economy rules under a 1975 energy law.

This is fantastic. America has always been stronger when its auto manufacturing and base were free from the shackles of government regulations.

I’m sorry.  This is about CAFE standards and cars.  Never cared about a 75 lb dumbbell, or a 170 lb Dumbell for that matter.

Below is my stand and your answer.  

Askholio is in the house.  This is the last time I will answer.  

The stand is the same as I have told you in the past.  Government should not be pushing the consumer in one direction or the other with tax credits.

No, I did not get a tax credit.  The free market developed a car I liked so I bought it.  As a matter of fact my car tax every year is HIGHER because the battery,
