    Just goes to show you can do something without learning.

    No, that's a logical fallacy, and you are using another one called a strawman. It's common knowledge in the industry the epa created large vehicles. It's not even disputed except here on lemmy for some reason

    I’m sorry I wasn’t even aware that the EPA made vehicles. That’s disappointing to hear that they were single-handedly responsible for making all these large fuel inefficient vehicles.

    Or maybe…. There was a rule made to prevent a problem that the infallible Free Market couldn’t solve. Then the mfgs found a loophole to exploit.

    Nah, it’s probably the first one.

    Your are the only one that thinks the epa didn't cause large vehicles. Just Google "suv loophole" and get some free knowledge.

    The policy had good intentions, but failed miserably. But keep defending a policy even the policy makers admit was a mistake.
