Allowing more tailpipe pollution means higher fuel costs for Americans 

Here is a 193-word summary of the news article: The Trump administration's plan to roll back tailpipe pollution regulations could result in higher fuel costs for Americans, according to a new analysis. Eliminating greenhouse gas emission standards for vehicles would discourage the adoption of more fuel-efficient and electric cars, leading to greater gasoline demand and prices. The Energy Innovation report estimates that households could pay up to $310 billion more over the next 25 years, or an average of $83 extra per year, due to higher gas prices. Repealing the regulations could also lead to $710 billion in cumulative GDP losses and 110,000 fewer jobs annually by 2050. Additionally, pollution-related premature deaths could increase by 700 per year. The Trump administration argues that removing these regulations would save money, but the analysis suggests this does not account for the long-term fuel costs consumers face or the broader economic and public health impacts. Experts say increasing demand for gasoline while limiting cleaner vehicle options will inevitably drive up prices at the pump, harming American households.
