Read twice and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.
The Gas Money Saved Act would require the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to review fuel economy standards for automobiles when gasoline prices rise significantly faster than overall inflation. Specifically, if gas prices increase at least five times faster than the general inflation rate over any 180-day period, the agency must evaluate whether current fuel economy standards are achieving the maximum feasible efficiency. The bill also restores financial penalties for automakers that fail to meet fuel economy requirements, increasing the penalty from zero dollars to $25 per vehicle for certain violations and $50 for others. This legislation would apply to all automobile manufacturers subject to federal fuel economy regulations. The bill aims to encourage vehicle fuel efficiency improvements during periods of rising gas prices by making it economically costlier for manufacturers to fall short of established standards.
