A Consumer Reports analysis showed the current standards save consumers $3,200 per car, and $4,800 per truck, over the lifetime of a new vehicle. As gas prices continue to rise, it’s especially critical for us to keep these standards strong. Unfortunately, two federal agencies -- Department of Transportation and the Environmental Protection Agency -- have announced a plan to lower future standards, which would cost drivers more money.
These two agencies are holding public hearings. This is a chance for policymakers to hear from drivers about how their plans would negatively impact them. Can you show up at a hearing near you to speak out against the rollback of our fuel efficiency standards?
WHEN: Monday, September 24, 2018 from 10am to 5pm
WHERE: The Grand 1401, 1401 Fulton Street, Fresno, California 93721
