Trump hits the brakes on fuel efficiency rules
Because apparently, saving a few bucks at the pump matters more than the planet right now.
The Trump administration is officially taking a hacksaw to the fuel efficiency standards set during the Biden era. Instead of pushing for cleaner, more efficient engines, the plan is to loosen the grip on how much gas cars and trucks are allowed to burn.
Efficiency mandates are getting scrapped, which basically means auto manufacturers can stop worrying so much about hitting those aggressive MPG targets. It is a return to the good old days of gas-guzzling performance over environmental metrics.
It is almost impressive how quickly the focus shifted from green tech back to the comfort of the status quo.
