Abstract

We derive the conditions that cause an automaker's Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) fine to increase when it sells an additional, fuel efficient car. Raising the CAFE standards would broaden the range of fuel economies that produce this effect.

Keywords: Corporate average fuel economy, CAFE, fuel efficiency, automobile regulation
