Cheaper is also disputable too... Sure it's probably cheaper to build a car that does 15mpg than one that does 35mpg... Thus cheaper on the purchase but running costs... The 35mpg vehicle would be cheaper if driven lots and driven the same amount as the 15mpg vehicle. But safer? Hardly... That 15mpg car would put out so many pollutants it would be hazardous to your health.

There's another Trump Truth for you. Rolling back emission standards will make cars cheaper and safer. And if you truly believe that then I have a bridge to sell you....
