EPA's Regulatory Impact Analysis counts about $1.3 trillion in avoided vehicle compliance costs (2027-2055) but assigns no value to higher greenhouse-gas damages or non-GHG health effects. Resources for the Future's modelling of the light-duty standards, including social-cost-of-carbon damages of $1.5 trillion (3% discount rate, 2026-2050), estimates a net societal loss of about $801 billion; FactCheck.org reports EPA's own central fuel-price scenario shows a $180 billion net cost, while some scenarios show net savings.
