Comment on American automakers are losing the race to make more fuel-efficient vehicles

Until the exemptions for “light trucks” go away this won’t change. The current CAFE standards reward automakers for making even larger, less efficient and more dangerous “passenger” vehicles every year.

On top of that average lifetime of a car in US is 12 years so those car’s will be on the roads for a decade or two after exemptions are removed.

Much longer than 12, that’s the average age (including new cars). This site says the average lifespan is closer to 17 years.
