QOTD: What's A Fair Fuel-Economy Number?

Tim Healey

The Trump administration wants to ease fuel-economy requirements. The Biden administration was trying to tighten them.

I have my thoughts on this, and I will expand on them soon. A quick preview -- I think Trump is making a mistake here, but the Biden numbers were probably a little too high.

It's your turn. If you were in charge, what number would you aim for?

You know what to do. Sound off below.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

  • Normie I like Corey's posts because his earnest effort makes for a civilized comment space.And I get more information and curiosity from his lavish coverage of a car that was never "me" than from any articles I've seen about my cherished tall & boxies.
  • Bookish So some lawyer comes up with a scam to shake down the auto industry and the NYT makes it an ethical crusade against Ford. And you repeat it moralistically and uncritically.

  • AZFelix This generation of Cadillac articles also shows consistent placement of photos relative to the corresponding text.
