McCain on Auto Efficiency

In 2002, McCain sponsored a bill in the US Senate that would have raised auto efficiency standards to 36 mpg by 2016. Though as Grist notes, McCain was a no-show for the vote on the 2007 energy bill that contained a provision to raise fuel economy for cars and trucks to 35 miles per gallon by 2020.

McCain came out in favor of California's right to pass its own tailpipe emissions law.
