Resumen

This final decision responds to a petition filed by Lotus Cars Ltd. (Lotus) requesting that it be exempted from the generally applicable average fuel economy standard of 27.5 miles per gallon (mpg) for model years (MYs) 1994, 1995, 1997 and 1998 and that lower alternative standards be established.
