By 2025, cars sold in the U.S. might have to have a standard fuel economy of 62 miles per gallon. The Obama administration revealed new mileage standards for 2017-2025 car models, ranging from a minimum of 47 mpg to a high of 62 mpg. While the cost of producing more fuel-efficient cars would be more expensive, reduced fuel costs over the lifetime of the car could equal $5,000 to $7,000. This standard would help reduce the effects of automobiles on climate change by reducing carbon emissions 3-6%, and curb the United States' dependency on foreign oil sources.
This article presents the facts objectively, but shows a slight bias towards the fuel economy legislation. Despite this, the article shows both the environmentalist's and auto manufacturer's side of the argument.
