§ 32906. Maximum fuel economy increase for al-
ternative fuel automobiles
(a) IN GENERAL.—For each of model years 1993
through 2019 for each category of automobile
(except an electric automobile or, beginning
with model year 2016, an alternative fueled auto-
mobile that uses a fuel described in subpara-
graph (E) of section 32901(a)(1)), the maximum
increase in average fuel economy for a manufac-
turer attributable to dual fueled automobiles
is—
(1) 1.2 miles a gallon for each of model years
1993 through 2014;
(2) 1.0 miles per gallon for model year 2015;
(3) 0.8 miles per gallon for model year 2016;
(4) 0.6 miles per gallon for model year 2017;
(5) 0.4 miles per gallon for model year 2018;
(6) 0.2 miles per gallon for model year 2019;

the Administrator of the Environmental Protec-
tion Agency shall determine the increase in a
manufacturer’s average fuel economy attrib-
utable to dual fueled automobiles by subtracting
from the manufacturer’s average fuel economy
calculated under section 32905(f) the number
equal to what the manufacturer’s average fuel
economy would be if it were calculated by the
formula under section 32904(a)(1) by including as
the denominator
