  Yeah but also nah.

  The relaxed standards will cause more emissions and may reduce longevity of a vehicle.

  The question is how much of each will occur, which I think is unknowable?

    We do know - none. These new emission laws only came in a few months ago, so we’re just going back to what we were 4 months ago.

      If the new laws weren’t going to reduce emissions, why were they introduced?

        More so we know it doesn’t impact longevity of cars. Emissions have only been lowered for a few months, going back for a while won’t hurt if it helps people afford petrol.
