"The Biden administration is set to announce a new fuel economy rule today as high gas prices and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine have renewed calls to reduce domestic reliance on foreign oil.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration proposed the new regulation last August as part of a joint rulemaking process with EPA to boost fuel economy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Transportation is the largest source of U.S. carbon pollution, with cars spewing the bulk of those heat-trapping gases.
“This is the perfect time for the federal government to step in and help Americans save money at the gas pump by requiring automakers to put better technology on their vehicles so they guzzle less gas,” said Dan Becker, director of the Safe Climate Transport Campaign at the Center for Biological Diversity."
