Trump Administration Finalizes Rule that Makes Cars Less Fuel Efficient
September 26, 2026 Larisa Manescu, larisa.manescu@sierraclub.orgRule Will Drive Up Costs at the Pump for Families Already Struggling with High Prices
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social that the Trump administration has finalized a rule rolling back federal Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards, making vehicles less fuel efficient and forcing Americans to spend more on gasoline.
The move comes as families are already struggling with sky-high gasoline costs and an affordability crisis. Transportation is the second-largest household expense after housing, accounting for roughly 17 percent of average household spending. Making cars less fuel efficient will make it even more expensive for families to get to work, school, grocery stores, and other essential destinations.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has estimated that stronger fuel economy standards could save Americans billions in fuel costs while reducing national gasoline consumption by tens of billions of gallons. Rolling back the CAFE standards will endanger these important benefits.
