No Fuel Efficiency for Americans

By Kevin

Just read two fun older news articles that take on the political economy of fuel efficiency.

Politics Keeps Great Cars Off Our Shores talks about CAFE, labor unions, and their link to the Sierra Club being against small-car imports.

and

U.S. automakers seem to avoid fuel efficiency -- only for Americans talks about turbochargers and diesel engines.

(I found the second linked here).
