A recent Salt Lake Tribune editorial recommended that Utah join California in its efforts to require car manufacturers to meet or exceed the federal mandated corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) standards. These require a 54 miles per gallon (mpg) average fuel efficiency for cars by 2025. The Trump administration wants all states including California to reduce the CAFE standards to a maximum of 37 mpg.
Fortunately, we the Utah car buyers, do not have to wait for the political battle to be resolved or wait to 2025 to buy vehicles that get better than the 50 mpg.
