Appeal...*

Major U.S. and foreign automakers have appealed to President Donald Trump to review the rules requiring them to nearly double fleet-wide fuel efficiency by 2025, saying they impose significant costs and are out of step with consumer preferences.

As part of a 2012 regulation, EPA had to decide by April 2018 whether to modify the 2022-2025 model year vehicle emission rules requiring average fleet-wide efficiency of more than 50 miles per gallon.

Automakers hope to work with regulators and California, auto representative, "to see whether we can find a prudent compromise path forward that avoids an unnecessary and counterproductive regulatory collision."

Trump will reduce the EPA regulation, but the auto industry with its electric and hybrids cars will exceed the removed requirement by a great distance. Just a thought.
