Judge(s): GRIFFIN, BUSH, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges

Court Appealed: United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan at Detroit

GRIFFIN, Circuit Judge. Plaintiffs are a group of consumers alleging that defendant Ford Motor Company intentionally submitted false fuel economy testing figures for certain vehicles to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Plaintiffs claim that this, in turn, led the agency to provide an inaccurate fuel economy estimate to consumers, which induced consumers (including plaintiffs) to buy those vehicles. The district court ruled that federal law preempted plaintiffs’ state-law claims. We agree and affirm.
