Clearly the literal only reason why advances in automotive technology come is because CAFE standards are raised. Customers actually WANT lower MPG and to spend lots more money at the pump and the car makers would oblige if not for those darn meddling kidsCongress. Surely the Fords and such of the world are simply sitting on tons of 100MPG carburetor technologies and forgoing the opportunity to differentiate their products in the marketplace with higher mileage because - reasons I guess? Because they are in cahoots with big oil in a conspiracy to sell the lowest mileage cars? Because they think Americans enjoy spending more money on gasoline?
Oddly enough the CAFE standards didn't go up for nearly a couple decades yet progress marched on with a host of new innovations from automakers. Surely that's impossible, cars only improve and get better mileage when Congress dictates it so.
