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.
