ADVISORY/Experts Available to Comment on Fuel Economy Issues.Business Editors ADVISORY... --(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 13, 2002 TOPIC: The U.S. Senate Wednesday rejected a proposal for new strict automobile fuel economy requirements, instead approving a more industry-friendly plan. The amendment directs the Transportation Department to develop new fuel economy suggestions only after considering the impact of higher mileage requirements on manufacturing costs, passenger safety and job losses in the auto industry, according to a story by MSNBC. The original proposal required automakers boost the miles per gallon for vehicles, in order to cut oil imports and reduce pollution, the story said.
