New vehicles must average 40 mpg by 2026, up from 28 mpg

On the news they said this was to reduce our dependency on gas.

That should reduce prices on top of reducing how much each vehicle consumes, but I did need to independently verify this will be the average.

For some reason the talking heads didn't specify.

NHTSA projects that the new rules will raise the price of a new vehicle in the 2029 model year by $1,087.
which would further increase the already crazy used car market.
Quote:
The new requirements increase gas mileage by 8% per year for model years 2024 and 2025 and 10% in the 2026 model year.
No they don't. Everybody knows that 28 x 1.08 x 1.08 x 1.1 = 35.92

It would be more like 12, 12, and 14%.

That would take you from 28 to 40.

Not even my HX is rated 40 MPG average.
