fuel efficiency standards

Fuel efficiency standards are regulations that set limits on how much fuel vehicles can use for a certain distance, typically miles per gallon (mpg). These standards encourage manufacturers to produce vehicles that use less fuel, reducing costs for drivers and lowering greenhouse gas emissions. Essentially, they ensure vehicles are designed to be more economical and environmentally friendly, balancing performance with conservation. Manufacturers often improve engine technology and aerodynamics to meet these standards, which evolve over time to promote cleaner and more efficient transportation.
