The Trump administration will soon announce sharply lower vehicle fuel-economy standards, reversing a push by the prior administration to force automakers to build more fuel-efficient vehicles, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said Monday.
which is good i guess because adding 1% fuel efficiency ends up making the engine 15% more expensive at a certain point; you can’t go below a certain fuel consumption level but if you try, you pay hard for it.
