Demand we stay the course on fuel economy

The fuel economy standards are the best tool we have for reducing petroleum use. That's why Congress established them in the first place!

To end the oil monopoly, we're asking you to sign our petition demanding that the federal government not roll back the fuel economy standards, also known as CAFE.

The CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) program provides two pathways to reduce petroleum use: higher fuel efficiency and diversifying our fuels by encouraging use of alternatives to gasoline and diesel. The CAFE program should do both.

The current administration's proposal undercuts the gains achieved over the past decade by freezing progress after 2020.

Standing pat is falling behind. We will never be secure or energy independent as long as our transportation relies almost exclusively on petroleum. Our national security, our economy, and our environment depend on our efforts, right now, to break the oil monopoly once and for all.
