New vehicles must average 40 mpg by 2026, up from 28 mpg

New vehicles sold in the U.S. will have to average at least 40 miles per gallon of gasoline in 2026, up from about 28 mpg, under new federal rules unveiled Friday that undo a rollback of standards enacted under President Donald Trump.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said its new fuel economy requirements are the strongest to date and the maximum the industry can achieve over the time period. They will reduce gasoline consumption by more than 220 billion gallons over the life of vehicles, compared with the Trump standards.

They're expected to decrease carbon dioxide emissions—but not as much as some environmentalists want—and raise new vehicle prices in an industry already pressed by inflation and supply chain issues.

For the current model year, standards enacted under Trump require the fleet of new vehicles to get just under 28 miles per gallon in real-world driving. The new requirements increase gas mileage by 8% per year for model years 2024 and 2025 and 10% in the 2026 model year.

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

Desperate, elite federal Democrats and RINOs are once again not only hiding behind non-elected bureaucrats running constitutionally undefined, so-called federal regulatory agencies, but election year Congress is wrongly letting these bureaucrats get away with stealing state powers to deal with politically correct global warming to make their unconstitutional edicts imo.

In fact, the only mention of public safety in the Constitution limits Congress's power to deal with safety issues to suspension of Writ of Habeous Corpus in cases of rebellion or invasion.

• "Article I, Section 8, Clause 15: To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions [emphasis added];"

• "Article I, Section 9, Clause 2: The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it [emphasis added]."

• "From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.

And since stolen state powers (imo) have been mentioned, why aren't state lawmakers complaining about blatant federal government overreach? (The answer is that state legislatures foolishly gave up their voices in Congress when they unthinkingly ratified the ill-conceived 17th Amendment.)

Corrections, insights welcome.

Next, patriots are also reminded that they must vote twice this election year. Your first vote is to primary career RINO incumbents. Your second vote is to replace outgoing Democrats and RINOs with Trump-endorsed patriot candidates.

Again, insights welcome.

What to do if you are in a rented property and can't get an extension cord to reach your car ?

At an apartment complex I would think that would be a code violation. At a minimum there would be tripping and fire hazards. If you live in a rented house with a garage or an outdoor outlet near the driveway, it is not a big deal. 120V/15A outlets only provide 4-5 miles of range per hour of charging at best.

The government creates only employs fools.

[snoringbear]

Yup, you’re right. It will all be about the formula. As an example, heavy duty trucks will probably be exempt. So, guess what? Instead of driving my current Silverado 1500 I will drive a Silverado 2500. 😉

[Paal Gulli]

Some time ago they calculated that every 1 mpg rise in CAFE produced 5000 additional traffic deaths because manufacturers invariably would have to resort to making cars more underpowered and less substantial to make the new quota.

[RetiredArmy]

Oh thank God I am retired, I cannot stay up on a skate board, so I won’t need one. Oh wait, I have to go to the stores and doctors. Dang. I guess I am going to have to ride my bicycle after all.
