Senate Committee Approves 35-MPG CAFE

A proposal raising fuel-efficiency standards to 35 miles per gallon by 2020 was approved by a Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, according to thecarconnection.com. The measure, which included the biggest change to federal fuel economy standards in more than 30 years, would increase the nationwide fleet fuel economy average by about 40 percent from current levels of 25 mpg for cars and trucks.
