Fuel efficiency effects commerce the same way that roads did, and unfortunately the interstate wasn't going to build itself quickly enough and what Eisenhower did was take action and what do ya know, but it was successful and still is to this day.
I think about fuel standards in the same way. There's a bunch of things the gov't does which manipulates fuel prices, and that's the nature of geo-politics and dealing with other Governments for fuel sources. The best way forward would be to empower the Country with lessening and lessening our dependence on the fuel to begin with, and the fact that the market largely DOESNT DECIDE fuel prices, should lead FREE MARKET advocates to want & hope for action.
