(a) Fuel Efficiency Standards.--
(1) In general.--Section 32902 of title 49, United States
Code, is amended by striking subsections (a) through (c) and
inserting the following:
''(a) In General.--Not later than 18 months before the beginning of
each model year beginning with model year 2012, the Secretary of
Transportation, shall prescribe, by regulation, average fuel economy
standards for automobiles manufactured by a manufacturer for that model
year in accordance with subsection (b). The Secretary of Transportation
shall prescribe separate average fuel economy standards for different
classes of automobiles. The Secretary shall establish average fuel
economy standards for medium-duty trucks that are consistent with the
projected benefits of hybridization.
''(b) Annual Increases in Fuel Economy Standards.--
''(1) For model year 2012.--For model year 2012, the
average fuel economy standard for each class of automobiles
shall be the average combined highway and city miles per gallon
performance of all automobiles within that class of automobiles
in 2011 (rounded to the nearest /10\ mile per gallon).
''(2) For model years after model year 2012.--For each
model year beginning with model year 2013 and ending with model
year 2030, the average fuel economy attained by the fleet of
automobiles manufactured or sold in the United States shall be
at least 4 percent greater than the average fuel economy
standard for the fleet in the previous model year (rounded to
the nearest /10\ mile per gallon).
''(c) Amending Fuel Economy Standards.--
''(1) In general.--Notwithstanding subsections (a) and (b),
the Secretary of Transportation may prescribe an average fuel
economy standard for a class of automobiles in a model year
that is lower than the standard required under subsection (b)
if the Secretary of Transportation, in consultation with the
National Academy of Sciences, determines that the average fuel
economy standard prescribed in accordance with subsections (a)
and (b) for that class of automobiles in that model year--
''(A) is not technologically achievable;
''(B) cannot be achieved without materially
reducing the overall safety of automobiles manufactured
or sold in the United States and no offsetting safety
improvements can be practicably implemented for that
model year; or
''(C) is shown not to be cost effective.
''(2) Maximum standard.--Any average fuel economy standard
prescribed for a class of automobiles in a model year under
paragraph (1) shall be the maximum standard that--
''(A) is technologically achievable;
''(B) can be achieved without materially reducing
the overall safety of automobiles manufactured or sold
in the United States; and
''(C) is cost effective.
''(3) Considerations in determination of cost
effectiveness.--In determining cost effectiveness under
paragraph (1)(C), the Secretary of Transportation shall take
into account the total value to the United States of reduced
petroleum use, including the value of reducing external costs
of petroleum use, using a value for such costs equal to 50
percent of the value of 1 gallon of gasoline saved or the
amount determined in an analysis of the external costs of
petroleum use that considers--
''(A) value to consumers;
''(B) economic security;
''(C) national security;
''(D) foreign policy;
''(E) the impact of oil use--
''(i) on sustained cartel rents paid to
foreign suppliers;
''(ii) on long-run potential gross domestic
product due to higher normal-market oil price
levels, including inflationary impacts;
''(iii) on import costs, wealth transfers,
and potential gross domestic product due to
increased trade imbalances;
''(iv) on import costs and wealth transfers
during oil shocks;
''(v) on macroeconomic dislocation and
adjustment costs during oil shocks;
''(vi) on the cost of existing energy
security policies, including the management of
the Strategic Petroleum Reserve;
''(vii) on the timing and severity of the
oil peaking problem;
''(viii) on the risk, probability, size,
and duration of oil supply disruptions;
''(ix) on the strategic behavior of the
Organization of the Petroleum Exporting
Countries and long-run oil pricing;
''(x) on the short term elasticity of
energy demand and the magnitude of price
increases resulting from a supply shock;
''(xi) on oil imports, military costs, and
related security costs, including intelligence,
homeland security, sea lane security and
infrastructure, and other military activities;
''(xii) on oil imports, diplomatic and
foreign policy flexibility, and connections to
geopolitical strife, terrorism, and
international development activities;
''(xiii) all relevant environmental hazards
under the jurisdiction of the Environmental
Protection Agency; and
''(xiv) on well-to-wheels urban and local
air emissions of pollutants and their
uninternalized costs;
''(F) the impact of the oil or energy intensity of
the United States economy on the sensitivity of the
economy to oil price changes, including the magnitude
of gross domestic product losses in response to short
term price shocks or long term price increases;
''(G) the impact of United States payments for oil
imports on political, economic, and military
developments in unstable or unfriendly oil-exporting
countries;
''(H) the uninternalized costs of pipeline and
storage oil seepage, and for risk of oil spills from
production, handling, and transport, and related
landscape damage; and
''(I) additional relevant factors, as determined by
the Secretary.
''(4) Minimum valuation.--When considering the value to
consumers of a gallon of gasoline saved, the Secretary of
Transportation may not use a value less than the greatest of--
''(A) the average national cost of a gallon of
gasoline sold in the United States during the 12-month
period ending on the date on which the new fuel economy
standard is proposed;
''(B) the most recent weekly estimate by the Energy
Information Administration of the Department of Energy
of the average national cost of a gallon of gasoline
(all grades) sold in the United States; and
''(C) the gasoline prices projected by the Energy
Information Administration for the 20-year period
beginning in the year following the year in which the
standards are established.''.

SEC. 5. EFFECTIVE DATE.

The amendments made by this Act shall--
(1) take effect on January 1, 2010; and
(2) apply to automobiles manufactured for model year 2012
and for each subsequent model year.
Solution:
Fuel Efficiency Energy Act of 2007 - Amends corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) provisions to revise the definition of: (1) "automobile" to mean any vehicle that is propelled by fuel, or by alternative fuel, and is manufactured primarily for use on public streets, roads, and highways (currently, four-wheeled vehicles that are so propelled and manufactured for such use and that are up to 6,000 pounds and certain vehicles between 6,000 and 10,000 pounds); and (2) "passenger automobile" to eliminate the exception for 4-wheel drive automobiles and vehicles weighing more than 6,000 pounds. Defines "medium-duty truck" as a truck with a gross vehicle weight between 10,000 and 26,000 pounds.

Requires the Secretary of Transportation to: (1) prescribe separate increased minimum CAFE standards for different classes of automobiles manufactured beginning for model year 2012, but adds an increase of 4% per year in such standard for model years 2013 through 2030; and (2) establish CAFE standards for medium-duty trucks that are consistent with hybridization beginning for model year 2012.

Revises the calculation of fuel economy standards for dual fueled automobiles and gaseous fuel dual fueled automobiles manufactured in model year 2012 and beyond to require using the same calculation provisions as used for gas or diesel fueled vehicles. Repeals provisions allowing the Department of Transportation (DOT) to extend manufacturing credits for such automobiles.
