How Missouri Benefits from Federal Fuel Economy and Vehicle Emissions Standards

The document argues that federal fuel economy and global warming emissions standards provide significant financial and environmental advantages to Missouri. It highlights that the state has already saved $690 million and projects that the average Missouri household will be $2,600 richer by 2030 due to gas savings. Additionally, the standards are expected to create 13,500 new jobs in the state and eliminate emissions equivalent to more than those required to provide electricity to Springfield.

• Federal fuel economy and emissions standards have provided Missouri with $690 million in savings to date and are projected to make each household $2,600 richer by 2030.
• The implementation of these standards is expected to result in the creation of 13,500 new jobs within Missouri.
• Environmental benefits in Missouri include the elimination of global warming emissions that exceed the amount produced by providing electricity to Springfield.
• Nationwide, the 2012 standards set by the EPA and NHTSA aim to nearly double the efficiency of new cars and light trucks by 2025, contributing to a projected GDP increase of up to $30 billion and 650,000 full-time jobs by 2030.
