I've been saying this for years, but I keep seeing accusations that it's entirely the fault of automakers that we have giant trucks and SUVs on the road because they're more profitable.

STOP. BLAMING. ONLY. THE AUTOMAKERS.

BLAME THE EPA TOO.

Small cars and trucks STILL have market demand, but the EPA's CAFE standards perversely incentivizes automakers to produce bigger and bigger trucks and SUVs instead.

Furthermore, in the USA isn't based on multiplied by as in .

Canada has the least fuel-efficient vehicles in the world.

Because of our cheap gas prices and crappy fuel efficiency standards, most Canadians are driving around vehicles much larger than they actually need.
