CAFE laws have killed thousands of people. Think of it that way.

Light cars don't survive. But the 5 MPH or less bumper made of plastic
the plastic radiator, the fold into nothing front destroys a very very
expensive car and protects about the same with a real front end and airbags.

Insurance rates are way up due to CAFE and just what else - not pay scales.

The CAFE law is definitely wrong-headed. Gasoline taxes as Ed has described
are the way to go but will probably never happen. If they're going to keep
the CAFE law, allowing the foreign manufacturers to skirt it by paying
relatively small fines should be stopped.
