    Petition

    We are calling on the Administration to eliminate loopholes for automakers that would undermine our nation’s Clean Car Standards. The current preferred proposals don't go far enough to meet the climate challenges we already face, and they leave billions of dollars in consumer savings on the table, as stronger standards could save drivers up to $88 billion on gas, maintenance, and costs for vehicles purchased in the next 5 years. Automakers already agreed to standards stronger than the current proposal almost a decade ago. The Administration must shift to stronger standards, hold the auto industry accountable, and ensure automakers take responsibility for their role in reducing climate-damaging pollution.

    I am not a fan of Consumer Reports but this is fairly painless. Of course they will scrape your contact information to solicit a paid subscription. Compared to complaining about coal burning in China, this has the chance of more effect.

    Lol. This is so pointless because the entire auto industry is moving towards EVs anyways. Plus, making ICEs more efficient would only make EVs less competitive. Very short sighted idea.
