“The Administration should consider returning to the minimum average fuel economy levels specified by Congress for model year 2020 vehicles: levels aimed at achieving a fleet-wide average of 35 miles per gallon.”
Citation: Project 2025, Section 3.10: Department of Transportation, Diana Furchtgott-Roth, page 660, paragraph 5
Context:
The average fuel economy in 2020 was 25.4 miles per gallon, not 35. [Source]2 So, we didn’t quite meet the standard of 35 that was set forth. I couldn’t find specifications set forth by Congress for any years beyond 2020, and Furchtgott-Roth doesn’t specify, either.
