Not much chance

President Trump is set to announce a rollback of fuel economy standards that were tightened under the Biden administration, aiming to reduce vehicle costs and increase consumer choice.

Yeah, and even with all that, those megacars are still bad and too energyslurping.

I prefer that they be converted to scrap. Keyed, wheels locked, anything.
