New Fuel Norms Give Ethanol-Run Cars An Edge: What It Means For Buyers

New Corporate Average Fuel Efficiency (CAFE) norms set fuel efficiency targets for car manufacturers rather than individual vehicles.

Ethanol-run cars get an edge under the new norms, as they can help manufacturers meet fleet-wide targets.

The change impacts car buyers by potentially expanding the availability of ethanol-compatible vehicles.

The policy aims to reduce overall vehicle emissions and fuel consumption nationally.
