The Trump administration could roll back Obama administration rules and reduce the required annual fleetwide average mpg increases for carmakers.
March 31, 2020—The Trump administration could roll back Obama administration rules on gas-mileage this week, according to a report by The Detroit News.
The Trump administration could reduce the required annual fleetwide average mpg increases for model years 2021-26 to 1.5 percent. The White House had initially proposed a freeze in gas mileage rates at 2020 levels until 2026,
The Obama-era standards would have required automakers to increase fleetwide fuel economy by about 5 percent annually toward a goal of 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025.
California, which helped craft the Obama-era rules, sued over the rollback and also an effort by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to the revoke its right to set its own more-stringent mpg requirements. The nation's largest state accounts for 12 percent of the U.S. auto market.
