    Even if you don't drive a Prius, CAFE is good for you.

    According to a 2017 study by David L. Greene at the University of Tennessee, the fuel economy improvements to cars and light trucks since 1975 have saved Americans a cumulative 1.5 trillion gallons of gasoline, along with an estimated $4 trillion, spread across all income groups. The amount of these savings cannot be overstated: 1.5 trillion gallons of gas is enough to power ever car and truck on the road today for more than 10 years. As of 2017, newly manufactures cars and light trucks have approximately double the fuel efficiency as an equivalent vehicle manufactured 42 years ago.

    Repealing Fuel Economy Standards To Cost American Households Nearly $1000 Per Year

    Well, my dream car is a Lexus LFa, but I'd take a 2018 Prime Advanced and a place to live with a garage & charger, if a whole lot of money were to spontaneously appear in my accounts!
