The final program represents will reach a projected industry-wide target of 161 grams CO 2 /mile, or 40 miles per gallon value on fuel economy window stickers in 2026. EPA’s analysis shows manufacturers can comply with the final standards with modest increases in the numbers of electric vehicles entering the fleet. Source: EPA.

Using this approach, they found that converting a fleet of cars from gasoline to CNG would result in decades of more rapid climate change because of greater radiative forcing in the early years after the conversion. Reductions in CH 4 leakage are needed to maximize the climate benefits of natural gas.
