>The people who sell the fuels have approximately zero influence over the people who sell the trucks

I wish that were the case:

https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2022/05/gas-war-republican...

> Last week, a group of Republican attorneys general decided to sue the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) over its decision to reinstate the waiver allowing California to set its own limitations on exhaust gasses and zero-emission vehicle mandates that would exceed federal standards.



What's your point? That article isn't relevant to my previous comment. Nothing is stopping truck manufacturers from increasing fuel efficiency. They're free to do so, regardless of whether or not California imposes emissions requirements that are stricter than the federal standard.


Somehow I have a hard time trusting “thetruthaboutcars.com” as a trustworthy, unbiased source.


That site isn't too bad, but the article is almost completely unrelated to the point that was raised.


Republican attorneys concerned about the EPA overstepping its authority (right or wrong) don't sell the fuels or sell the trucks.
