This isn’t likely to change anything in the market. Auto manufacturers have invested shitloads into meeting those standards and they’re not going to retroactively change their already-designed powerplants over rules that will probably change again in 6 months.
Also it won’t matter anyway since automakers realized they can just upsell everyone into “luxury” light trucks in the US and fuel economy standards don’t matter to those anyway.

You would think that. But here in the city of Springfield Illinois. Our power is coal. And trump reduced regulations. And guess what. They just stopped doing the extra filter/cleaning/scrubbing (whatever it’s called ) because they don’t have to. Even though the infrastructure for it all is already installed. This was brought up at a town meeting a while back.
