Dear Mr. Pruitt:
I am writing to you in support of abolishing the CAFE standards. Somewhat counterintutively, 1 think this would be associated with reduction in emissions if associated with an increase in the gas tax. Reduction in emissions, a stated U.S. goal at the G20 meeting, is harmed by our current policy which encourages, with cheaper gas, purchases of SUVs or large personal trucks. This 1 believe also leads to increased mortality on our roads given the disproportionate weights of vehicles also encouraging an `arms race' for safety in the purchase of heavy vehicles.
Sincerely,
(b)(6)
