Reply #8: I don't think we need to increase CAFE

[blue_onyx]

We've increased fuel efficiency standards over the decades and gas usage kept going up. It wasn't until gas prices went over 3-4 dollars that people actually changed their driving habits. We need to keep the gas prices around 3-4 dollars through a gas tax if we want to really have an impact of the environment. It's just politically easier to put the burden on the auto companies.
