Fuel Efficient Cars Bill

Whereas, the CAFE standards for this year, 2009, as amended unter the Environmental Policy Act of 2009, are:

34 mpg for cars, 24 mpg for light trucks, 22 mpg for SUVs


Section 1: In a further effort to encourage sensible energy usage and responsibility regarding environmental protection, but also to stimulate demand for fuel efficient automobiles in this recession, Atlasia shall offer tax credits for the purchase of such vehicles.

Section 2: Any person who purchases a vehicle which has a fuel economy, defined by the EPA, of 10 mpg or more than the CAFE standards, shall be eligible for a tax credit totalling 15% of the cost of the vehicle, up to a maximum of $4,000.

Section 3: This program shall only be valid until a maximum of $30 billion are used.
