WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Donald Trump is proposing a reset to the vehicle fuel efficiency standards put in place during former President Joe Biden's administration, a move he says will save Americans up to $109 billion because the previous rules would have forced car prices to rise by at least $1,000.

The proposal, made by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, will lower the fuel economy requirements for vehicles from model years 2022 to 2031, requiring 34.5 miles per gallon on average by 2031 instead of the current requirement of 50.4 miles per gallon.
