Default Should Aust have C.A.F.E laws

Should a USA style Corporate Average Fuel Economy be introduced for cars sold new in Australia ?


In the USA there is a rule which factors in the type of car (Truck/commercial ...etc) and if any company exceeds the CAFE fiqure then there is a $ penalty applied ($5.50 per 0.1 mpg multiplied by the total annual sales figure).
Here is a link with how it works:
