Calif. officials push strict fuel rule

California officials pushed federal environmental regulators on Tuesday to approve the state's plan for a 30% cut in greenhouse gases from cars and trucks, saying automakers had overplayed their challenges to meeting the targets, according to the Detroit Free Press.

If successful, California's plan would set up strict new fuel economy goals of about 43 miles per gallon by 2016 that automakers might be forced to follow nationwide.
