See CAFE's Three Strikes - It Should be Out ... the money quote:
"Researchers at Harvard University and the Brookings Institution found that, on average, for every 100 pounds shaved off new cars to meet CAFE standards, between 440 and 780 additional people were killed in auto accidents - or a total of 2,200 to 3,900 lives lost per model year."
See post 13 ... a SMART car at 1,600 lbs is 1,400 pounds less than a Camry. That is an indication that Obama just sentenced 6,160 to 10,920 random drivers to death. Tyranny is whimsical - Steyn was right.

I know about the study. You can quote all sorts of "studies." Many are done with a built in bias based upon what the studier or his backer wants the outcome to be. Others are just done poorly; and once in a while one of these studies actually leads to a proper conclusion.

I was just using common sense.
