Trump: Reduced MPG Costs Cars $1,300
The Trump administration announced plans to roll back federal fuel economy standards, reducing the required fleet-wide average from over 50 miles-per-gallon to just under 35 miles-per-gallon by 2031. Officials claim this move will lower new car prices by approximately $1,300 and save consumers about $138 billion over five years, while making newer, safer vehicles more affordable. Critics, including environmental groups, argue that the rollback will lead to less fuel-efficient cars, increased emissions, and higher fuel costs for consumers. The change aims to balance vehicle affordability with market demand and safety.
