A cap-and-price scheme with a target quantity and corresponding price can alleviate rebound effects and perverse incentives of fuel efficiency and low-carbon fuel standards. Additionally, car manufacturers can only influence tank-to-whee efficiency and/or emissions, and thus these policies do not provide proper incentives for fuel producers.
