For both advocates, by-standers, and skeptics.

Toyota has (so far) elected not to sign on to the California fuel standards. Many of its competitors- like Honda- already have. As you know, the Trump Administration is working to relax fuel standards. I wrote to Toyota urging them to sign on, but got the reply below, saying they will not sign and only believe in national standards.
While national standards would be nice, in this case, the ONLY way to force that standard will be through California. We all know this administration will not yield to wishes of automakers, environmentalists or consumers. Toyota was one of a handful of automakers that agreed to meet with Trump- and apparently had no influence whatsoever.

Please urge Toyota to force The President's hand by signing the California standards.
Contact them through their corporate website. (I guess I'm not allowed to post a link?)
They must decisively and publicly denounce The Administrations' rollback.
For me, any future Toyota purchase hinges on it.
