Reset fuel economy standards to levels reachable by combustion engines
What the document says“The next Administration must return the federal fuel economy program to the limits established by Congress.”
The chapter states that the 1975 statute directs the department to set the maximum feasible mileage requirements achievable with combustion technology, and not so high as to stop automakers profitably meeting demand. It says standards must be reset at levels technologically feasible for combustion vehicles and consistent with increased domestic production, and suggests considering a return to the model year 2020 levels aimed at a fleet-wide average of 35 miles per gallon.
What the document actually says“The next Administration must return the federal fuel economy program to the limits established by Congress.”
Put the fuel rules back inside the limits Congress set.
Cars must average a set number of miles per gallon. The book says the target went too high. It says it should go back to what the law allows.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
