Biden Administration Tightens Mileage Standards to Buoy E.V.s

The new rule requires automakers to achieve an average of 65 miles per gallon across all models by 2031.

The new standards require American automakers to increase fuel economy so that, across their product lines, their passenger vehicles would average 65 miles per gallon by 2031, up from 48.7 miles today. The average mileage for light trucks, including pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles, would have to reach 45 miles per gallon, up from 35.1 miles per gallon. Selling electric vehicles and hybrids would help bring up the average mileage per gallon across their product lines.

    That lifted diesel super duty getting 12mpg will get the state $0.47 in tax per gallon of diesel. If I did the math correctly that’s $391.67 per 10,000 miles. That’s about a years worth of driving for most people.
