Default oil smart

CAFE standards are being raised.

-- By model year 2025, the average American car or truck will get 54.5
miles a gallon (the average car currently gets 23.8 mpg).

-- We'll have saved 12 billion barrels of oil and eliminated 6 billion
metric tons of carbon dioxide pollution.

-- A family that purchases a new car in 2025 will save $8,200 in fuel
costs, compared with what they'd pay for gas for a similar vehicle
bought in 2010.

-- All told, American drivers will save nearly $2 trillion over the
life of the program.
