Biden’s fuel economy rules for new cars unveiled —here’s what drivers need to know

New vehicles sold in the US will have to average about 38 miles per gallon of gasoline in 2031 in real-world driving, up from about 29 mpg this year, under new federal rules unveiled Friday by the Biden administration.

The final rule will increase fuel economy by 2% per year for model years 2027 to 2031 for passenger cars, while SUVs and other light trucks will increase by 2% per year for model years 2029 to 2031, according to requirements released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The final figures are below a proposal released last year.

Administration officials said the less strict requirements will allow the auto industry flexibility to focus on electric vehicles, adding that higher gas-mileage requirements would have imposed significant costs on consumers without sufficient fuel savings to offset them.

And they’ll run on fairy dust and bovie excrement!

Among other things, these rules force car manufacturers to save as much weight as they can. That dependable metal part? Gotta replace it with a lighter plastic part.

Thanks, Potato Head Joe.

Oh, and thanks Republicans in Congress for letting Potato Head Joe get away with it.

How did this corruptocracy get here? What gives them the power to tell companies what to make? Seems wrong.

[ComputerGuy]

Which part of the Constitution authorizes this ‘rule’?

I had a 1979 Datsun 210 4 cylinder 5 speed in the Navy, I got 40 city and 52 highway.

The ad says 35 city and 48 highway, but mine did better, but I did tune it myself always:

Drivers need to know that if they vote for Trump they won't have to deal with Biden's horse-poopy.

Absolute monarchs rule by decree. Modern American presidents rule by regulation. No one knows for sure, but there are tens of thousands of federal laws and regulations. All a president needs to do is find one that sort of fits.

It is a disgrace that the Supreme Court didn’t put an end to this years ago.

“How did this corruptocracy get here?”

Ask Mitt, Ronna, McCarthy, Mike Johnson, Mike Pence, Bill Kristol, the Bushes, the grifters at the Bulwark, the NRO...

[Deo et patriae]

Pretty soon they will overcome the Gasoline Lobby and give us what we already knew. Change the carburetor to run on fumes and we will have the 200mpg that has been developed years ago.
Look it up yourself. The there are numerous videos showing how to make your own. Really quite simple. The only thing that holds me back from making my own is I don’t trust my own work when it comes to Gasoline. (BOOM!) You know hat I mean?

That’s only possible with an underpowered tiny car. Lovely.

The concept of “collector cars” is entering a new and different era, thanks to Aunt Sam.

Not much the Supreme Court can do. The Biden Administration will either ignore or just come out with a new regulation.
