The Obama Administration is set to propose tougher national tailpipe emissions standards that would meet the standards of California, the most stringent state regulations. The proposed regulations would be the first national greenhouse gas regulations and will affect all consumer automobiles sold in the US. The cost of an average car or truck is expected to rise about $1300; lower fuel costs should make up for the increase.
