The Bush administration had proposed new car and truck average of 31.2 mpg and 25 mpg, respectively. Cars will be required to return an average of 30.2 mpg, up from 27.5 mpg, while light-truck standards will increase to 24.1 mpg, an increase of 1 mpg. Automakers are expected to meet the 2011 standard with ease.
The Obama administration's rules aren't as tough as those originally proposed by the Bush administration.
