I would be interested in seeing how they determined this -

Automakers have argued that the rules could result in the loss of up to 1 million jobs because consumers could be less willing to buy the more fuel efficient vehicles since their engineering will result in higher price tags.

"Up to 1 million" = 0 to 1 million and seems really random, then we will stop buying as many cars if we have to buy efficient ones? Not seeing it, it may delay my purchase but not significantly and with the amount of leases, these people will continue to get another vehicle as the lease runs out. We should also add in when everyone buys efficient cars and spends less on fuel they are likely to spend this money on something else and I would like to see someone more independent than the one having to follow the law study the result of it.
