A. Democrats tend to favor stronger regulations on CAFE than Republicans.

Explanation:

CAFE stands for Corporate Average Fuel Economy, a set of governmental regulations, which were introduced by the United States Congress in 1975 in order to improve the average fuel economy of the vehicles produced in the United States. The fuel economy stands for the amount of fuel needed by a vehicle to cover a particular distance. An important consideration for many car owners in the U. S.

Republicans traditionally show less support for governmental involvement into economical matters, meanwhile the survey conducted in 2007 showed that both Democrats and Republicans share quite high levels of support towards more stricter fuel economy standards, with 91% and 85% respectively.
