It's a textbook example of POSIWID.
If fuel efficiency standards were actually intended to make cars smaller and lighter they'd be adjusted until that happens.
Instead, CAFE standards are causing vehicles to become bigger under the guise of conserving fuel.
The Purpose Of a System Is What It Does
That's encouraging to know. Thanks.
Decades ago a "first year car" was presumed to have flaws. Everyone expected that.
Even farther back (say, 1960's and before), virtually all new cars , first-year model or not, were presumed to require a few trips back to the dealer to have some...

Not even having the parts is a Never-Fail Method of assuring they won't fail.
Put the comparison equation in your calculator and you'll get a divide-by-zero error.

From a distance white noise blends in with other noises, so it creates less noise pollution too.
