The Trump administration is cutting US fuel economy standards back to 2014 levels, according to Ars Technica. The rollback would undo more than a decade of efficiency requirements for cars and light trucks, drawing criticism from environmental groups while being welcomed by some in the auto industry who oppose stricter mandates.
Why now: A major policy reversal on vehicle emissions and efficiency is drawing attention from drivers, automakers and climate watchers.
