Biden Administration: New vehicles must average 40 mpg by 2026, up from 24 mpg

DETROIT (AP) — New vehicles sold in the United States will have to travel an average of at least 40 miles per gallon of gasoline in 2026, up from about 24 mpg, under new federal rules unveiled Friday.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said its fuel economy requirements will undo a rollback of standards enacted under President Donald Trump.
quote:
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, whose department includes the NHTSA, said the rules also will help strengthen national security by making the country less dependent on foreign oil and less vulnerable to volatile gasoline prices.
quote:
Gas prices also have helped to fuel inflation to a 40-year high, eating up household budgets and hitting President Joe Biden’s approval ratings.
“Transportation is the second-largest cost for American families, only behind housing,” Buttigieg said. The new standards, he said, will help keep the U.S. more secure and preserve “the freedom of our country to chart its future without being subject to other countries and to the decisions that are being made in the boardrooms of energy companies.”

Get ready for $150,000 aluminium and carbon fiber pickup trucks with quad turbo 1.5L engines and hybrid battery packs.

You will drive a Chevy Cruz, and you will be happy.

When you put 35's and trucknuts on anything, you wont come close to touching 20 mpg.

Anytime now a certain poster will be here with a long winded, haughty lecturing post on how this is awesome and how awful and dumb we are to even question it, much less disagree

There goes any affordable car.
They must think public transit doesn't suck here. Or that the poor don't need to move around.

Just drive a lot faster to raise your mpg.
Proven on the OT aeons ago.
It be science.

How do we properly invest in crate engine manufacturing?
Everyone will just keep buying engines and parts to keep their decades old ICE engine running. Because not everyone can afford to pay $60,000+ for a Tesla.

Absolutely mind blowing that the government is mandating this.

Hey your new vehicle need to average 40mpg so you can afford gas. Also, set aside 14k for when the turbos go out.

It’s he took Obamas time in office and mixed it in with some Jimmy Carter for extra stupid.
