California and 13 States to Cut Vehicle Emissions, Fuel Economy to Become 43 MPG per Gallon

The Sierra Club may soon press automobile manufacturers to raise the fuel efficiency of cars to 43 mpg, even though the US Congress had agreed to 35 miles per gallon in Dec 2007. A total of 14 US states including California will implement laws to restrict CO2 emissions by vehicles. Although the present US administration hasn’t given a green signal to this law, both Democratic and Republican candidates have voiced their support for it.
