Secret EPA Report Rejects Lifting Auto Emissions Curbs
A previously secret Federal Energy Administration analysis shows Ford can reach a 40 percent fuel economy gain by 1980 without loosening emissions or safety standards. The report says mileage could rise from 14 to about 19.6 mpg even with planned 1977 1978 rules in place, labeling the stricter rules as not required for the goal. Nader released the executive summary and urged the EPA hearings to reject a suspension of 1977 standards, while Chrysler cited price and mileage drawbacks from emissions changes.
