As your constituent, I'm writing to urge you to overturn Trump's fuel economy rollback. On September 28, just as oil prices surged above $107 a barrel, the administration slashed the target for new cars and trucks from a projected 50 miles per gallon by 2031 to about 35. That will cost us all more money. Families are already getting crushed at the pump. A car that burns more gas costs more every time you fill up, wiping out any savings on the sticker price. The stronger standards were projected to save 14 billion gallons of gasoline by 2050. That's money that belongs in drivers' pockets, not Big Oil's. You have the power to reverse this. Vote to overturn the rollback and restore strong fuel efficiency standards as soon as possible.
