That argument has been floating for a long time. It started with the corvair and has never stopped. The smaller fuel efficient cars help the cafe ratings

Except the modern CAFE rules factor a little thing called footprint and it's harder to keep a small vehicle up with the increasing efficiency requirements without getting into hybrid electrification. It's easier to engineer a vehicle to have longer/wider wheel contact as now the target point is lower.

Federally funded. It's free money.

Being sarcastic. I’ve been working since I was 12. The government loves me.

You're thinking of the NHTSA. The IIHS is an independent testing company primarily funded by insurance companies.
