Clinton on Auto Efficiency Standards

Clinton has become the leader in the pack on this issue. She's proposed increasing fuel economy standards to 40 mpg by 2020 and 55 mpg by 2030. That's a 100 percent increase over the 27.5 mpg we're at today, and have been for over 20 years. Her plan estimates a savings of $180 billion for Americans on this measure alone. She'll also authorize $20 billion in low-interest "Green Vehicle Bonds" to help give automakers a lift in the retooling and will invest in research for improved plug-in hybrids.
