RAAM Act Restoring Affordability in Automobile Manufacturing...
A bill to amend title 49, United States Code, to eliminate corporate average fuel economy standards, and for other purposes.
The bill SB5092 proposes to change federal law by removing the corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) standards. These standards set the average fuel efficiency that car manufacturers must achieve. If passed, this bill would eliminate those standards, potentially affecting car manufacturers and consumers.
This bill would mainly impact car manufacturers, who would no longer need to meet specific fuel economy targets. Consumers might see changes in the types of vehicles available, as manufacturers could focus on different priorities without the pressure to meet CAFE standards. However, the overall impact on consumers, including potential changes in fuel costs and vehicle options, is uncertain.
As of July 22, 2026, SB5092 has been introduced and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. This means it is now under review by this committee, which will evaluate its potential effects and decide whether to move it forward in the legislative process.
