The high price of gas is hurting many Americans and businesses. Improving fuel efficiency has become a priority for those throughout the automotive industry. There are multiple cars available today that get 40MPG or better. All electric vehicles are also starting to roll out. Even with all this improvement does the government need to set MPG standard for automotive manufacturers? 35 MPG is required by 2016 but there is now a proposal for over 60 MPG by 2025!
The Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers is asking the government to look at the impact 60+ MPG would have before making a decision. This could increase the cost of a new vehicle as well as eliminate jobs.
