Trump’s gas guzzler mentality world ender.

I am writing to urge you to oppose the Trump Regime’s rollback of federal fuel-efficiency standards. This decision will raise costs for American families, weaken U.S. competitiveness, and increase our dependence on foreign oil. No matter our politics, lowering these standards is a step backward for the country. Fuel-efficient vehicles save drivers thousands of dollars over a car’s lifetime. The Biden-era rules—modest by historical standards—were set to reach about 50 miles per gallon by 2031. Politico reports that these standards would have significantly reduced fuel costs for consumers while helping U.S. automakers compete in a global market that increasingly demands cleaner, more efficient technology. The Trump Regime is instead dropping the target to just 34 miles per gallon by 2031. The Associated Press confirms that this change will force drivers to burn much more fuel, raising long-term expenses for millions of Americans. InsideClimate News notes that weakening these standards gives foreign automakers a sizable advantage, especially those already investing heavily in efficient and lower-cost vehicles. At a moment when the global auto industry is innovating rapidly, this rollback pushes American manufacturers in the opposite direction. E&E News has called this the most consequential regulatory reversal yet, undermining decades of bipartisan support for stronger efficiency rules. Administrations from Ronald Reagan to George W. Bush strengthened fuel-economy standards because reducing oil consumption protects national security and keeps economic benefits at home. Today, companies like Ford, GM, and Stellantis are investing in high-efficiency and electric technologies because that is where the global market is headed. Forcing them to produce less efficient vehicles deliberately handicaps American workers and our long-term competitiveness. This rollback is not about consumer choice. It is about making Americans spend more on gasoline at a time when families are already strained, while letting foreign competitors out-innovate us. Congress must intervene by investigating the political pressure behind this decision, demanding a full analysis of long-term consumer costs, and using legislative or budgetary tools to block the rule from advancing. Protecting American families, workers, and our economic future requires stopping this harmful rollback. It benefits only oil companies and foreign competitors, and Congress has a responsibility to prevent it.
