Senate panel OKs 100 percent auto fuel efficiency plan
The Senate Commerce Committee approved a bill mandating 100 percent fuel efficiency improvements by 1985 with 50 percent gains by 1980. It requires 21 mpg for 1980 models and 28 mpg for 1985 models, covering 1977 to 1985 model years, based on 1974 baselines. The vote followed industry and union pushback and calls for a moratorium on additional emissions rules.
