US Car Fuel Economy Standards Lowered
Original: Car Fuel Economy Standards Lowered
Federal car fuel economy standards have been lowered, easing requirements on how far new vehicles must travel on a gallon of fuel. The rollback affects automakers' efficiency targets and is drawing debate between industry groups, who welcome reduced compliance costs, and environmental advocates concerned about higher fuel consumption and emissions.
Why now: Consumers and the auto industry are reacting to the policy change's impact on vehicle prices, fuel costs, and emissions rules.
