Description (excerpt):

The federal agency writing regulations for vehicle fuel economy standards could lay the groundwork for a new vehicle fleetwide average of more than 50 miles per gallon by 2030, according to a 2008 report from the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS). The regulations mark the first phase of implementing standards passed by Congress in the energy bill in December 2007.
