A large number of high fuel users are also lower-income Americans who are far less likely to purchase new vehicles. Many of these drivers are likely waiting for cars to filter into the used vehicle market, a process that can take years.

Maybe give higher rebates for lower income households then

And tax the hell out of the rich who burn more fuel in a weekend then normal humans can in a year.

A small share of motorists burns about a third of America’s gasoline, a study found.

They are again, blaming normal people when the problem is the rich who don’t deserve anything anymore.

My impression is that the super-drivers are actually middle-class individuals who have incredibly long commutes or jobs which involve large amounts of driving.

I think the other commenter was referring to the carbon footprint from elites using private jets and the like, versus normal Americans who use their cars for work and cant afford an EV even with a tax credit
