Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is resetting the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards in the US, declaring the current standards as 'illegal'.
Duffy aims to make vehicles more affordable and easier to manufacture in the US by rolling back the CAFE standards, which experts say will result in less fuel-efficient cars and increased gas expenses for owners.
The Trump administration plans to halt enforcement of current CAFE standards and is working on reversing them.
The move to rollback CAFE standards is likely to impact the fuel efficiency of vehicles and lead to higher gas costs for consumers.
