States are challenging the Trump administration on fuel economy penalties.

SACRAMENTO, Calif.
— A coalition of states

Twelve states — includ-

The lawsuit came a week
after four major automakers

General Xavier Becerra
said in a statement that the
new Trump rule “seeks
to make these penalties
meaningless.”
“We’ll take on this lat-
est wrong-headed maneu-
ver with the same vigor that
defeated the administra-
tion’s fi rst attempt at back-
sliding,” he said.
The lawsuit contends the
traffi c safety administra-
tion decision was based on
inaccurate assumptions on
the economic impact of the
increased penalties.
New York offi cials pre-
viously estimated the higher
penalties would trim carbon
emissions and save con-
sumers on average $1,650
annually in fuel costs.
“Without strong penal-
ties for violating these fuel
effi ciency standards, con-
sumers, our economy, and
our environment all remain
in danger,” New York Attor-
ney General Letitia James
said in a statement.
Joining in the lawsuit
were the attorneys gen-
eral of Connecticut, Del-
aware, Illinois, Maryland,
Massachusetts, New Jersey,
Rhode Island and Vermont.
administration’s push to
relax mileage standards
nationwide.
The new federal rule
would keep the penalty at
$5.50, where it has been
since the mid-1970s.
The legal challenge, led
by the attorneys general in
California and New York,
argues that the new rule
would keep the penalty far
below the infl ation-adjusted
rate required by a 2015 law.
The new Trump rule says
the 2015 law doesn’t apply
to the mileage penalties,
and if it did, nearly tripling
the civil penalty rate would
have a negative economic
impact.
The U.S. Department
of Transportation, which
includes
the
highway
safety administration, said
it expects the Trump pen-
alty would reduce the future
burden on the industry and
consumers by as much as $1
billion a year.
The states sued in the
2nd U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals in Manhattan. The
same court last year decided
the administration could not
delay the penalty increase.
