The average fuel economy of American automobiles has stagnated for over 20 years, despite advances in vehicle technology. Current gasoline prices coupled with concerns about our nation’s energy security have resulted in renewed momentum in the Senate for action on fuel economy standards. 

Two important measures have recently been introduced that, while using different approaches, would both improve auto fuel economy if consistently implemented. The Feinstein-Snowe “Ten-in-Ten” bill requires a fleet average of 35 miles per gallon for cars, SUVs, and pickups by 2017. The Obama-Lugar-Biden Fuel Economy Reform Act mandates an annual increase in overall fleet fuel economy of four percent.

Please send a letter to your senators today urging them to cosponsor both of these important fuel saving bills. Make your letter personal by adding your own thoughts and concerns. Every letter makes a difference, but customized letters have the greatest effect! Specific personalization tips for this letter can be found by clicking “Tell Me More” below.
