Is personal responsibility or government regulation more effective in reducing overall fuel consumption?

With the expenses the society has sometimes if a person would like to make a difference the cost wouldn't allow them to. So if the government can motivate for public transportation or electric vehicles

Government Regulation:

Regulations, such as fuel efficiency standards and emissions limits, can drive significant changes across the automotive industry. These policies encourage manufacturers to innovate and produce more efficient vehicles.
Government incentives for electric vehicles and public transportation can also promote broader adoption of fuel-efficient alternatives.

I’d say it’s in everyone’s hands, but the government has more power in actually spurring changes in this regard. Subsidizing EV’s and renewable energy, increasing public transport options, R&D into cleaner renewables, etc., all allow consumers to reduce their own fuel consumption. Anything but a carbon tax tbh.

yes, fuel economy policies are important to the health of the world, giving companies the option to damage the environment, or harm people to make money will result in them making more money at the commoners detriment, this has been shown with the use of leaded gasoline

I feel that the government should regulate fuel consumption as it is a major worldwide problem

if there is a way for fule efficiency without completely destroying the economy so be it

The government should focus on making sure fuel efficient (or alternatively fueled) vehicles are affordable to the general public. Personal responsibility often takes a back seat to affordability.

Personal responsibility is more impactful, but the govermetn regulation must get the ball rolling.

It is everyone's responsibility, but the government will need to find an alternate solution sooner or later

I feel that it is a personal responsibility because it would be more effective in reducing the overall fuel efficiency. Inorder to help reduce the overall fuel efficiency people should choose what they would want to do so that they could eventually change to electric cars and help reduce fuel efficiency. In addition, having people switch to electric cars would not help people financially

If they regulate it, companies that prouduce the fuel might increase the gas prices because they are havin this regulation, making fuel too pricey for the public.

Being to a 3rd world country where vehicles don't have much regulations, I can say the air is much better here

It should be required, but our earth is doomed by those in power

Government regulation is ultimately more effective as they can standardize and outline restrictions on driving laws, transportation manufacturers, and set in place regulations for the transportation and energy industries as a whole.

I feel a better answer to this overall is making public transportation more common and readily available, more convenient. The cost of a vehicle, insurance, maintenance, fuel, etc. is something I feel more people could do without in our economy. By using public transportation, we would be lowering our carbon footprint. Where I live, public transportation is not well thought out and not very effective. I strongly feel this needs to improve. If it wasn't for my want to travel, I wouldn't even think of purchasing a car, which I don't currently have. If travelling was easier without a vehicle I still wouldn't consider it honestly.
