Well there was also the Obama CAFE standards that meant building a "gas hog" car forces payments in the form of carbon offsets to Tesla. Even though a SUV which is a truck got far poorer MPG... but I digress. There are still smog laws and even though the Feds are walking back the 50 state / i.e. California standards it does have a big effect on V8 engines with performance camshafts and no variable overlap. Will these be walked back? We will know in November won't we. It is a hard grind from ULEV to PZEV
