Start-Stop’s Funeral: EPA Buries the Gimmick That Jacked Up Costs and Irritation

President Trump and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin recently enacted a significant deregulatory action, rescinding the Obama-era greenhouse gas endangerment finding. This move effectively guts the automated engine start stop technology in vehicles, a change long anticipated by American drivers. This decision reflects a shift in us politics and environmental policy, impacting federal regulations and government interventions in the auto industry. The EPA just dropped a bombshell that every fed-up American driver has been waiting for: the automatic start-stop nonsense is getting gutted. On February 12, 2026, President Donald Trump and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin signed off on what they're calling the single largest deregulatory action in U.S. history. They scrapped the entire 2009 Obama-era Greenhouse Gas Endangerment Finding, this wiped out all the federal GHG emission standards for vehicles from model year 2012 forward. Most importantly for anyone who's ever cursed at a red light because their engine shut off, its frustrating and potentially unsafe - this eliminates every last government compliance credit. That includes the one that rewarded automakers for jamming start-stop systems into our cars. Other “Clean Air Act” rules for things like tailpipe pollutants stay on the books, so nobody's claiming emissions are going unregulated entirely. What died today is the prescriptive, heavy-handed push that rewarded gimmicks like start-stop for manufacturers to hit unreasonable “greenhouse gas” numbers. Automakers get real freedom now to chase actual efficiency - better engines, smarter hybrids, lighter builds, aero tweaks - without saddling vehicles with features that eat away at reliability and driver satisfaction. ➡️ Looking for Car Reviews?    / @car-smarts   ➡️ Buy me a Cup of Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/laurenfix ➡️ Check out The Drive with Lauren and Karl - Syndicated RADIO and Online - https://youtube.com/ ⁨@thedrivecarshow⁩ ➡️ SOCIAL MEDIA: X:   / laurenfix   FB:   / lauren.fix.the.car.coach   IG:   / carcoachreports   TT:   / laurenfixcarcoach   Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-625957 Truth: https://truthsocial.com/@laurenfix Substack: https://carcoachreports.substack.com/ ➡️ Check out our WEBSITE: https://www.CarCoachReports.com ©Automotive Aspects, Inc., 2026.
