UPDATE 12/3/25 3:41 p.m.: As anticipated, the Trump administration announced less stringent CAFE standards in an effort to bring down the price of new vehicles. The administration says that rules put in place by the Biden administration broke the law by going beyond the requirements mandated by Congress when the CAFE program was started. The new regulations will require automakers to meet an average fuel-economy figure of 34.5 mpg across 2031-model-year vehicles, instead of the 50.4 mpg that would have been required under the previous regulations.
The Trump administration is expected to propose more flexible fuel-economy standards, rolling back the requirements put in place last year by the Biden administration, according to a new report from Automotive News. As things currently stand, automakers will be required to achieve an average of 50 mpg across their 2031-model-year lineups.

The move is part of the president's goal to dismantle policies that he considers to be part of an "EV mandate" from the Biden administration. The president has argued in the past that "artificially high" fuel-economy standards are to blame for the rising price of new cars felt in recent years.
