The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Bush #43 "reformed" the fuel economy regs to enable the exclusion of smaller vehicles, and enable ever larger SUVs and trucks. Lord Trump is about to announce his refinements, apparently, with Big Three "JCs" looking on approvingly.

Trump administration to announce new fuel economy standards Wednesday, sources say

The Trump administration will propose rolling back the standards implemented by former President Joe Biden last year, sources told Reuters. Biden required passenger cars and light trucks to have a fuel efficiency of about 50 miles per gallon by 2031.

President Donald Trump is scheduled to make an announcement at 2:30 p.m. ET from the Oval Office. Executives from Ford
, General Motors and Stellantis are expected to attend the announcement.

Probably the next shoe is to declare it "unfair" for foreign companies like Honda and Toyota, to continue to make small, affordable, economical, cars, when the Big Three don't want to, and outlaws everything smaller than a 5000lb SUV.

Steve...long big oil
