Plain-English Summary

The federal government would review and potentially change the fuel efficiency standards that car manufacturers must meet for their vehicle fleets. This could affect automakers' production decisions and ultimately influence what kinds of cars are available to consumers and how much they cost at the pump. The proposal is currently being considered by the Senate Commerce Committee.
