Doesn't Colorado prevent most people from collecting rainwater? Can you believe that?

Fuel economy rules are there because we can't pump oil out of the ground fast enough to keep up if the demand were to keep growing. It countered the addition of NEW vehicles on the road not replacing old ones taken out of service. We used to have 50 million cars on the road getting 10 MPG...then there were 100 million...if they got 10 MPG it would double the amount of oil needed...and we can't do that...so, they made them make the cars get 20 MPG and everything works. Oil companies continue to pump almost at peak, and cars got sold.

Rules are RARELY for the purpose stated.
