CAFE standards apply to manufacturers, don't they???? Something like Corporate Average Fuel Economy????

you are correct. Since it's an average, gas guzzlers spewing out high levels of hydrocarbons still exist. the real change will be when they do away with CAFE and require all vehicles to meet a fuel economy standard. What will be real bad is when they apply it to hotrods. I believe that even states that have emission testing only require vehicles to meet requirements applicable to the model year so older cars are still not affected...someone correct me if I'm wrong please...we don't have testing in Alabama so I'm no expert on the subject. How do they deal with streetrods? Do they require the car to meet the standards of the vehicle that donated it's engine?
