Gas mileage is the number of miles used by a car per a galloon of gas. Burning a lot of gas has a bad impact on the environment; it also contributes to the air pollution. Some policies about boosting gas mileage have been done before. After the Bush administration, it is the turn of the Obama’s administration to impose a certain gas mileage to car makers. By 2025, the Obama’s administration requires car companies an average of 55.4 miles per gallon (mpg), which is the double of the required mpg in 2007. Car companies are also involved in improving the gas mileage. Ford made an investment of 135 million in the development of hybrid and electric cars, and it doubled the number of its workers.Honda is also planning to hire 300 more workers. Reducing air pollution, and creating more jobs (about 484, 000 jobs) are the advantages of gas mileage.
Car buyers should also contribute to the gas mileage by:
_ Turning off the car when they are not using it
_ Use less the air conditionner
_ clean frequently the air filter
_ buying small and fuel efficient cars (if you can afford)
