Trump Admin Kills Biden’s Fuel Economy Rules, Says New Cars Will Cost $1,300 Less

The Trump Administration has finalized a rule to weaken fuel efficiency standards, reversing Biden-era regulations. This deregulatory action eliminates requirements for fleet average fuel economy to reach 50.4 miles per gallon by model year 2031. The US Department of Transportation describes this as one of the largest deregulatory moves of the second Trump Administration. Officials claim the policy is a great step in the right direction, asserting that new cars will cost consumers $1,300 less.
