Trump Says He Will Ease Rules on Gas Use in Cars

President Donald Trump said Sept. 26, 2026 he will loosen Biden-era rules on how little gas new cars may use, like easing a miles-per-gallon target. Trump says ending what he calls Biden's 'EV mandate' will cut prices and help U.S. factories. No law makes Americans buy electric cars. Details await a Monday notice flagged by Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.
