Trump's move to lower mileage standards hits California
Original: Lower mileage standards, higher pump costs: What Trump’s auto move means for California
The Trump administration is moving to lower federal fuel mileage standards, a decision analysts say could raise costs at the pump for drivers and complicate California's stricter emissions rules. The change would roll back efficiency requirements for automakers and directly affect California, which has long set tougher vehicle standards than the federal government. Coverage focuses on what the rollback means for the state's climate policies and consumers' fuel bills.
Why now: A federal rollback of fuel economy rules directly challenges California's stricter auto emissions standards and affects consumer gas costs.
