Gas Money Saved Act

This bill would require the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to start a review of federal fuel economy standards for vehicles if gasoline prices rise at least 5 times faster than overall inflation over a period of 180 days or longer, based on Bureau of Labor Statistics data. The review would examine whether current standards are achieving the maximum feasible average fuel economy. The bill would also change the civil penalty amounts in federal law for violating fuel economy standards, replacing $0.00 with $25 in one provision and $0.00 with $50 in another.
