For how long though? Trump once said he thought they should eliminate the EPA all together (though I believe he's softened his stance since). And both he and the guy running the transition team for the EPA have publicly expressed that they don't believe humans are impacting climate change, so why would they maintain rigorous efficiency standards? To them, that's probably just red tape and an unneeded regulation that's harming business. They probably think that the market should decide how fuel efficient cars should be.
