Fuel Efficiency Rules Lead to Deadlier Car Accidents

California and other state and local governments have filed suit to stop the Trump administration's SAFE (Safer Affordable Fuel Efficiency) rule. That rule replaced the outgoing Obama administration's rule requiring five percent annual increases in Corporate Average Fuel Economy.

But while the lawsuit claims improving our health as its rationale, it ignores how the Obama standards actually threaten our health by downsizing cars, making driving more deadly.
