The automobile industry is one of the companies that has been benefiting due to the advance in technology. As years go by we see how the gas price just goes up and up and the economy down. Thanks to the new technology cars have been able to develop and improve their gas per mileage efficiency. Society and federal agencies are the ones asking for this improvement so that is cost effective for consumers due to the rough economy.
We can see how the gas per mileage system has improved in cars in a record showing how in 2011 an average vehicle consumes 22.4 miles per gallon and how in 2013 it went up to 23.6 miles per gallon, on average and how it was projected to get to 24 miles per gallon by the end of 2013.
In my opinion while technology advances better is for the car industry in terms of the gas per mileage since now the cars are being constructed in a way that people are much more appealed to cars that are able to reach more millage with fewer gas.
Using fewer gas to reach longer destinations is anything that anyone can ever dream of. Everyone wants to save money on gas, and be able to go to further places on less gas.
This also is great for the environment since by reducing the use of gas to travel to longer destinations we also take care of the environment.
“New cars and trucks sold in the United States have become steadily more efficient since 2004 — after fuel economy stagnated during the 1980s and 1990s.” This suggest that since the 80’s and 90’s oil prices have risen up so much that cars have now been developed in such a way that they are more fuel efficient.
