Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says Biden -era fuel economy standards for gas-powered cars and trucks are illegal and moved to reverse them.

Duffy put pressure on the federal agency earlier this year to reverse the fuel economy rules as soon as possible.

Senate language in the pending budget bill would eliminate penalties for exceeding standards regulating how far vehicles must travel on a gallon of fuel.

Ultimately, the nation's use of electric vehicles could be slowed.
