    This isn’t tax breaks, it is EPA economy vs passenger space rules meant to force automakers to develop more fuel efficient engines. Instead, automakers keep extending the cabs and wheelbase. That’s why all the big trucks are super cabs with tiny beds.

      You’re right, I misspoke.

      It’s a few things IMO. The CAFE light truck loophole you mention, the car footprint loopholes that were added by bush and Obama, and the lowest in the world gas taxes.
