Senators Feinstein, Cantwell, Others Call for Raising Average Fuel
Economy Standards for All Vehicles to 35 mpg by Model Year 2019

=20

By 2025, this would reduce vehicular greenhouse gas emissions by 18
percent below projected levels, save 2.1 million barrels of oil per day=20

=20

WASHINGTON, DC - U.S. Senators Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), Olympia
Snowe (R-Maine), Daniel Inouye (D-Hawaii), Richard Durbin (D-Ill.), John
Kerry (D-Mass.), Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), Bill Nelson (D-Fla.), Maria
Cantwell (D-Wash.), Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.), Joseph Lieberman
(I-Conn.), Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), and Susan Collins (R-Maine) today
introduced a measure to raise the average fuel economy standards for all
vehicles, including SUVs and sedans, from 25 miles per gallon (mpg) to
35 mpg by model year 2019. =20

=20

If passed, the bill would save:=20

=20

*          18 percent reduction of vehicular greenhouse gas emissions by
2025; or 350 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions. This is
the equivalent of taking 60 million cars (or 50 million cars and light
trucks) off the road in one year. =20

=20

*          2.1 million barrels of oil per day by 2025, nearly the amount
of oil we currently import from the Persian Gulf.=20

=20

"This bill is long overdue. That's because the technology already exists
to improve fuel efficiency standards," Feinstein said. "Raising the fuel
economy of the cars and trucks we drive by 10 miles per gallon over 10
years is the simplest step we can take.  This would reduce 18 percent of
greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles by 2025. And it would save nearly
the amount of oil we currently import from the Persian Gulf."

=20

"Improving the fuel economy of America's automobile fleet is a national
imperative and should be a priority in this Congress," Snowe said.  "By
simply improving the efficiency of our cars by 10 miles per gallon over
the next 10 years with technology already available we will lessen our
dependence on foreign oil, reduce the cost of gasoline, and
significantly reduce pollutants in our air.  This is a goal well within
our reach that will pay dividends for generations to come, and I am
pleased to join Senator Feinstein as we work to realize that goal."

=20

"For the sake of our nation, we must drive technological innovation and
meet the needs of consumers by setting standards for improved fuel
economy. This in turn will encourage the development of alternative,
cleaner fuels," said Commerce Committee Chairman Inouye. "Protecting our
children's health and our most precious natural resources should be
reason enough to pursue an environmentally sound energy policy. However,
there are very real national security reasons to increase our energy
independence and reduce our reliance on oil and gas from foreign land."

=20

Durbin said, "Congress can no longer ignore the real solution to ending
our dependence on foreign oil and reversing the growing and harmful
effects of global warming.  The road to energy security, a healthier
environment and consumer relief begins with increasing the fuel economy
for all cars and trucks." =20

=20

"We already have the technology we need to help families save hundreds
of dollars a year at the gas pump, without having to change their
choices in cars or trucks," said Cantwell.  "We need to find ways to end
to our overdependence on fossil fuels, and this bipartisan, common-sense
proposal to get Americans 10 more miles per gallon over the next 10
years will go a long way towards that urgent goal."

=20

"The only effective way to set America free from ever-rising gas prices
and the whims of volatile foreign governments is to end the oil
addiction of America's vehicles.  We can take a huge step in the
direction of energy security without hurting our economy by
substantially boosting the fuel efficiency of the cars and trucks sold
in America," Lieberman said.=20

=20

"There is growing concern among scientists with the level of pollutants
from gasoline emissions in our air. Implementing commonsense CAFE
standards will enable us to limit our dependence on foreign oil and will
help to address global warming," said Collins.  "Our environment, our
economy and American consumers need this legislation."

=20

The bill would also:

=20

*          Establish mandatory on-board fuel economy displays that show
real-time fuel consumption to encourage more fuel efficient driving. =20

=20

*          Improve safety rulemaking standards:  The bill would require
the Department of Transportation to set standards for the industry that
will protect Americans in whatever car they choose to drive. The bill
would mandate standards to mitigate the difference in weight and size
between the largest and smallest vehicles, and improve bumper height
compatibility between vehicles.=20

=20

*          Create a program to identify vehicles that meet or surpass
mandatory fuel economy standards - the green label and the gold star
label.=20

=20

o         The green label would be for vehicles that meet or exceed the
applicable fuel economy standard or have the lowest greenhouse gas
emissions.=20

=20

o         The gold star label would be for vehicles that achieve a fuel
economy at least 50 mpg, and for light trucks with 37 mpg or higher.
