U-M study finds current CAFE standards create profit incentive for larger vehicles

Green Car Congress

Simulations of future vehicles under the footprint-based standards found that the sales-weighted average vehicle size increases by 2–32%, undermining gains in fuel economy by 1–4 mpg (0.6–1.7 10 11 kg with no size changes)—the equivalent to adding three to ten coal-fired power plants to the electricity grid each year.
