Congressman Dingell supports a significant increase in fuel economy standards. He is a co-sponsor of the Hill-Terry bill, H.R. 2927, which would mandate separate car and truck standards to meet a total fleet fuel economy standard between 32 and 35 mpg by 2022; increases up to 40 percent over current standards.
"We have set ambitious goals and targets for climate change legislation. It should stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations at levels that will avoid or avert large-scale climate change consequences. That will require a reduction in U.S. greenhouse gas emissions of between 60, and perhaps as much as 80, percent by 2050."
--Congressman John D. Dingell
