THURSDAY, JANUARY 12: NEW CAR MODELS

Profile America — Thursday, January 12th. The recovering U.S. automobile industry is putting its best on display at the important North American International Auto Show in Detroit, which opened last Monday. After several days for media and industry representatives, the show opens to the public on Saturday. With 760,000 expected to attend. Those watching the U.S. auto industry will be closely looking at some 70 new models and the public’s reaction to them. Small cars, innovative designs, and especially fuel economy are most likely to be in the limelight. In the years before the economic downturn hit, U.S. auto dealers sold about 16 million cars and light trucks each year. By 2009, that number had dropped to less than 11 million. Profile America is in its 15th year as a public service of the U.S. Census Bureau.

54.5 MPG Fuel Economy Standards Formally Announced Today

Saturday, November 19th, 2011

New fuel economy standards of 54.5 mpg are beingformally introduced today by theUS Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the US Department of Transportation (DOT) formodel year 2017-2025 passenger cars and light trucks.

Cars, SUVs, minivans, and pickup trucks are currently responsible for nearly 60% of US transportation-related petroleum use and greenhouse gas emissions.

The standards literally double fuel efficiency from current levels and reduce carbon emissions by almost 50%.

In July,the auto industry and Obama administration agreed to the fuel economy standards,which build on the35.5 mpg standards that are inforcefor model years 2012-2016.

This agreement on fuel standards represents the single most important step weve ever taken as a nation to reduce our dependence on foreign oil, says President Obama.

American families will save $1.7 trillion dollars in fuel costs, and by 2025 willresult in an average fuel savings of over $8,000 per vehicle. The US willconsume12 billion fewer barrelsof oil, and by 2025 reduce oil consumption by 2.2 million barrels a day – as much as half of the oil we import from OPEC every day.

The standards cutcarbon pollution bymore than the amount emitted by the entire USlast year.And theyll create 150,000American jobs.

New Standards Get Overwhelming Support … Almost

In a poll released this week, Consumer Reports found that 93%of Americanssupport higherfueleconomy, and 80% agree that fuel economy standards should require auto manufacturers to increase the overall fleet average to at least 55 miles per gallon by 2025.

According toTrueCar.com, theaverage fuel economy oflight vehicles is22.2 miles per gallon.

111 members of Congress sent a lettertoPresident Obama, commending him for the standards.

But for some unknown reason,some members of the GOP are still trying to block them.Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA)iscontinuinghis investigation of the agreementand Rep. Steve Austria (R-OH) has anamendment to block EPA from implementing the standards.

US auto dealers are also fighting the standards even though all the manufacturers have signed on. Dealers want theDOT alone toset fuel targets,without involvement from the EPA. They also complain thatnew technologies mean higher costs, which couldsuppress sales ina struggling economy.

They dont complain about new technologies availablein cars today, like iPod and Bluetooth hook-ups, or GPS, just fuel economy technologies.
