ACTION: Do this for better gas mileage!

[Consumer Reports]   Dear Friend, A plan is on the table that would make sure new cars and trucks get significantly more miles to the gallon in the coming years, saving drivers real money at the pump. But Big Oil and most automakers are trying right now to gut this plan. And if they succeed, it will take a toll on every American – both in transportation costs and our climate future. Consumer Reports is fighting back against these special interests by showing Washington D.C. that consumers want and deserve more efficient cars and trucks. [Will you join us by adding your name to our petition]( – it’s already 19,000 names strong!  [Sign the Petition](  The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration, which sets rules for gas mileage, is proposing an average increase of 7 miles per gallon for cars and trucks by 2032. This approach complements efforts by the Environmental Protection Agency to reduce harmful tailpipe emissions, and fills a critically important gap as we transition to EVs and other clean vehicles. Automakers claim that requiring them to build more efficient cars will cost consumers more, but the data actually show the opposite. NHTSA’s fuel economy standards have a long history of delivering performance improvements without adding additional costs. A CR analysis found that these mpg rules saved consumers $7,000 for the average vehicle over the last two decades – without increasing vehicle prices. More efficient cars and trucks also means less air pollution in local communities, and a reduction in climate-damaging emissions. Let’s show federal officials what consumers want – and not what Big Oil and Big Auto wants!
