Leaving no stone unturned in their efforts to dismantle regulations, House Republicans, led by Darrell Issa (R-CA) are now investigating whether "secret negotiations" led to the new, higher fuel economy standards for cars and trucks.

The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, chaired by Issa, is meeting with administration officials today to "explore the rulemaking process used by the Administration and stakeholders in compiling this framework."

In July, President Obama announced historic new fuel efficiency standards for cars and light trucks - by model year 2025, the average car and light truck will get 54.5 miles per gallon. When he announced the agreement, he was joined by automakers Ford, GM, Chrysler, BMW, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar/Land Rover, Kia, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Toyota and Volvo, all of whom agreed to abide by it.
