Cars Most Ranked Between Carter Extremes
Detroit report notes no American car meets the $472 fuel efficiency rebate target under Carter plan. The Chevrolet Chevelle at 36 mpg may reach a $436 payment while large V-8s face up to $449 taxes. Mid sized and standard cars at 15 to 23 mpg dominate sales, with imports like Rabbit Diesel, Dasher, Civic, Accord, and Corolla qualifying for higher rebates if accords are reached. EPA figures guide ratings, but real mileage often trails. GM downsizing reduces weight and length, intensifying penalties on some Chevrolets, Fords, and Chryslers profits.

President Carter unveiled a standby gasoline tax up to 50 cents per gallon starting 1979, with annual five cent steps if consumption targets are missed. The plan also hikes crude oil taxes and raises natural gas prices while offering rebates and home insulation tax breaks. Critics call the measures inflationary and unfair to low income Americans.
