Corporate Average Fuel Economy

Corporate Average Fuel Economy

     The foreshadowed Market Failures of the mid 1970's gave way to Corporate
Average Fuel Economy, regulation which would call for new standards in
automobile fuel efficiency.  The market failures hinged on a number of outside
variables which could have had a drastic effect on domestic markets.

     Resource Scarcity drove the American public to call for a more efficient
means of managing its resource use due to a) oil embargos on nondomestic
products and b) skyhigh prices at the pump.

     Conservation of the world's non-renewable resources cams to the
foreground with a) higher pump prices and b) forecasted resource
expenditure before the year 2000.

     Maximum fuel efficiency would a) cut the amount of fuel consumption thus
nullifying high pump prices and b) raise the level of conservation by
lowering the amount consumed.

     Although the intentions of Corporate Average Fuel Economy in the 1970's
was thought to be a cure-all but, over the long run it has turned out to be a
flop.  The variables on which it was based, turned out to be almost exactly
opposite.

     Lower Gas Prices have a) caused the public to simply use more fuel, b)
drive more frequently due to less fuel consumption and c) look beyond
fuel economy when in the market for a new vehicle.

     Quality Depletion of the total domestic car fleet due to special
attention to only the fuel economy while ignoring: 1) performance, 2)
acceleration and 3) handling.

***     With CAFE becoming a long-term flop, in its first year...
