Twenty-Three States Sue Administration Over Fuel Efficiency Rollback

The Trump administration rolled back Obama-era auto fuel efficiency standards, claiming they were excessive and would raise car prices. In response, California and other states, along with environmental groups, sued the administration, arguing the rollback would increase pollution and health risks, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. The new rule aims for cars to average 40 miles per gallon by 2026, compared to Obama's 54 miles per gallon target. Automakers like General Motors and Toyota supported the rollback, while Ford, Honda, BMW, and Volkswagen agreed to uphold higher standards in a deal with California.
