New Fuel Standards: The Math Doesn't Add Up. 🚨

The rollback on fuel efficiency standards (50 MPG target down to ~34.5 MPG) may save ~$1,000 on a new car's sticker price.

BUT, as a consumer, you'll be spending significantly more on gas over the life of the vehicle.

#US tells #automakers they face no #fueleconomy penalties for last three years
Last year, #Stellantis paid $190.7 million in civil penalties for failing to meet fuel-economy targets for 2019 and 2020, and nearly $400 million for 2016 through 2019, Reuters noted. #GeneralMotors previously paid $128.2 million in penalties for 2016 and 2017. With no threat of penalties, automakers also have less incentive to buy compliance credits from other firms.
