Like I said, same bullshit reasoning from politicians (who don't drive themselves) to get ICE off the road. Thankfully we voted to throw the ideologues out for a few years at least
The improvement in fuel economy and reduction in emissions are both outcomes, but even reading that link establishes the difference in the programs and regulatory agencies which led BMW to their engineering decision on power train calibration at start-up for certification, which is CAFE-based.

As to the populist, anti-government paranoia currently in vogue under the psychopath-in-chief, I think there’s another thread for that, so no need to bicker here about it.
