(Harrisburg, PA) Americans continue to see improving fuel economy as the most significant change they want from vehicle manufacturers when they offer new products. A new Consumer Reports survey shows strong support in Pennsylvania and beyond for regulations that lower fuel costs and emissions. Chris Harto with Consumer Reports says the survey reveals consumers don’t trust automakers to actually deliver those fuel savings without regulations. President Donald Trump’s recent executive order ended the E-V mandate. Harto says they are concerned that his administration may weaken standards, putting future consumer savings at risk. He adds that if left in place, these standards could save drivers an additional six thousand dollars in fuel costs over the next five years.
