Automakers ahead of schedule for 2020 fuel economy targets
The Union of Concerned Scientists says automakers are ahead of the 2020 fuel economy goals with about 10 percent of new cars and trucks already meeting the standard.

Most gains come from conventional engines, not advanced tech like electric drives.
