Yes, but without the CFC program, the 15.8 mpg 'clunkers' would have been sold in the used car market. They would have gone to people looking to trade up, possibly replacing an even older 10-12 mpg super clunker. Now they are being scrapped.

Those are lovely possible situations. Are you asking me to choise between a "possibly & maybe" and "documented improvement"? Between a small number of possible 3MPG improvements and a larger number of much larger improvements? If your priority was denying oil money to people that you believe support terrorism and murder of your fellow citizens which would you choose?

I'd choose to "drill here, drill now" in the many areas of the US where we can obtain oil & gas.

As opposed to stealing from Peter so Paul can buy a car with the proceeds.
