California's interest in a higher CAFE is largely to address GHG emissions, but there is not much of a case that in doing so the state is addressing a local concern since (i) climate is global in scope, and (ii) even if you accept the U.N. methodology for estimating climate benefits from reduced loadings of carbon dioxide, any initiative undertaken by California will have no measurable result on global or local climate.
