I've said this before as well!  Even something as simple as a seatbelt law - I never wore one on my bike!   

Just don't want to say it or they'll take those away from us too.

I've been trying to learn more about cafe standards to make sense of some of this. I vaguely was aware of them but not all the finer details. A couple things I found interesting so far was it started in the late 70s during the fuel shortage. Certain car companies just pay the fines to produce cars they (we the buyer) want, which of course gets passed onto the buyer. Some of the roll backs need to go back prior to 2012 to help reduce truck prices, which isn't the current rollback policy. The emissions standards and associated equipment on current trucks is just very expensive. Car companies plan ahead in design years in advance to comply with standards so either way will take awhile to see a change in price on trucks if they roll back those standards.
