In an effort to conserve national energy and to improve automobile efficiency, Congress enacted laws that help motivate vehicle manufacturers to invest in research and manufacturing of vehicles with higher fuel economy and better efficiency. Today, there are two main federal laws that govern the fuel economy of automobile fleets, as well as an incentive policy that encourage automotive manufacturers to put out more alternative fuel vehicles. Besides penalizing vehicle producers, there are also currently a few tax credits that encourage buying of alternative fuel vehicles.
