Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Technician A is correct because the production of CO2 (carbon dioxide) is directly related to the amount of fuel burned; more fuel-efficient engines burn less fuel and thus produce less CO2. Technician B is correct because CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) standards aim to improve the average fuel economy of cars and light trucks sold in the United States, which would lead to reduced fuel consumption and thus lower CO2 emissions.
