Fuel economy standards eased for small trucks and vans
DETROIT. Auto industry officials welcomed the decision to ease 1980-81 fuel economy rules for trucks and vans up to 8,500 pounds. Transportation Secretary Brock Adams said the revised standard will save over 8 billion gallons of fuel over two model years. Two-wheel drive targets rise to 16 mpg 1980 and 18 mpg 1981. four-wheel drive to 14 mpg 1980 and 15.5 mpg 1981. Non-passenger-engine vehicles must reach 14 mpg 1980 and 15 mpg 1981. Big Four spokesmen praised the realism and lead-time relief, with Chrysler silent. UAW President Fraser praised excluding foreign-built vehicles from fleet averages starting 1980.
