US finalizes lower fuel economy standards favoring gas vehicles
Original: US finalizes new lower fuel economy standards in boost for gas-powered vehicles
The US has finalized new fuel economy standards that are lower than previously planned, a move that eases requirements on automakers and supports continued production of gas-powered vehicles.
