I don’t get McCain’s position on fuel efficiency standards for cars

Picture this happening in the Michigan Legislature:  The State House and the State Senate would set the fuel efficiency standards for every motor vehicle sold in the state.

That’s what John McCain appears to be proposing.  He feels setting fuel efficiency standards should be a state responsibility. I assume the state legislatures would be the ones setting that policy.

Hmm . . . that means that our term-limited state lawmakers who are still learning where the johns are in the State Capitol building would set the key standard for an industry that’s been so important to this state.  Everything in our state is becoming unraveled because of our reliance on the car industry for everything.

Now, under McCain’s proposal each state would set the kind of mileage each car would have to achieve.  Wouldn’t that add to the expense for each vehicle.

It seems to me that the end result is increased traffic to the local Honda and Toyota dealerships.

I’m not convinced that John McCain really understands Michigan.  Maybe Mitt Romney can help him.  Maybe not.
