Carmakers support 32 mpg by 2022
The Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, which represents Ford, GM, Toyota and Daimler Chrysler, endorsed a U.S. House proposal supporting a 32 mile per gallon fuel economy standard for new passenger cars by 2022. The Alliance chose to support this proposal rather than a competing proposal which required 35 mpg by 2018.
Currently, cars are required to average 27.5 mpg and SUVs/pickups/vans are required to average 22 mpg. This legislation has been in effect since the 1970s, but recent efforts by environmental groups prompted the Senate to approve a 35 mpg by 2020 standard.
The Alliance said that dramatically increased standards would increase the cost of vehicles and limit the number of large vehicle choices for consumers.

Honestly why do they need an alliance? Christ you lose money, roll over and die
