While I'm sure car makers would like a lower CAFE target I think having a nationwide standard even if it's higher is easier for them to meet. I don't like one state dictaing policy but the facts are that CA and the other what 11, 13 or so states that follow the same guidelines probably make a large portion of the vehicle sales each year in NA. If you have to run a business you have to follow where the money is.
