California Sues The Trump Administration Over Fuel Ecomony Standards

California Sues The Trump Administration Over Fuel Ecomony Standards

"When cars don’t meet minimum standards for fuel economy, the manufacturers pay fines to the federal government – sometimes millions of dollars a year.

The amount they pay has become a hot topic in Washington, and the focus of the latest fight between California officials and President Donald Trump’s administration over automobiles and how quickly they consume fuel.

California sued the federal government Monday over the Trump administration’s decision to postpone indefinitely a decision by former President Barack Obama to dramatically increase the penalties for violating federal fuel economy standards."
