Chairman Stevens Applauds Administration for New CAFÉ Standards for Light Trucks
 
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Senate Commerce Committee Chairman Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) today issued the following statement upon the Administration’s announcement of a new rulemaking establishing higher CAFÉ standards for model year 2008-2011 pickup trucks and sports utility vehicles (SUVs):

“The Administration's fuel economy rule for pickup trucks and SUVs is a positive step forward as our nation strives for energy independence. This rule is consistent with the President's desire to relieve U.S. dependence on foreign oil, a key element in the global war on terror. Consumers also will spend millions of dollars less at the pump each year once these standards are fully in place, with an estimated savings of 10.7 billion gallons of fuel over the lifetime of vehicles produced during these model years. I applaud the Administration for its initiative and leadership on this important issue.”
