EPA locks in fuel standards just days before the Trump administration
Automakers must double fuel efficiency by 2025.

The plan requires automakers to more than double their fleet-wide fuel efficiency by 2025. While a key part of President Obama’s legacy, the regulation is not all popular with the automobile industry.
