Welcome to the CAFE web site. First enacted by Congress
in 1975, the purpose of CAFE is to reduce energy consumption by
increasing the fuel economy of cars and light trucks.
Regulating CAFE is the responsibility of two federal
agencies: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). NHTSA sets fuel economy
standards for cars and light trucks sold in the U.S.; EPA calculates
the average fuel economy for each manufacturer. This site contains
an immense amount of information about the CAFE program, including
a program overview, related rulemaking activities, research, fleet
characteristics and summaries of manufacturers’ fuel economy
performance since 1978.
