The automoible industry and gas mileage go hand and hand. The better the gas milage of a car the more appeling the car is to the consomer, especially in todays economy.
In orerder for vehicles to sell on the market you have to have a good and compeptive fuel economy>or gas per mile driven. Because of this auotmobile manufactures must think of ways to increase gas mileage. Auto companies have gotten a lot better at building popular small cars that are fuel efficien,t but they need to get even better by 2025, they are acquiescing without protest to an increase to 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025, from the current 27 miles per gallon, roughly double the mileage requirement of just five years ago. President Obama announced stricker rules then ever on millage requirements as a mater of fact the largest increase in mileage requirements since the government began regulating consumption of gasoline by cars in the 1970s. Here somes in the problem, when the companies argued that consumers would not be willing to pay for the technology needed to meet higher mileage requirements. These proposed standards can be met using well-known technologies such as better engines, lower-cost hybrids and electric cars, argue enviromental groups. Some aruge But given the range of technologies that we either have currently or are developing, we will be in a position to meet them.
Examples we given at Encyclopedia.com that manufatures are developing new technologies and products, such as electronic fuel cells, navigational systems that manage congestion problems, and “telematics”(telecommunications capabilities)”, these are all prime examples of how car manufactures want/and will boost fuel economy.
Automakers have been rolling out new technology and other innovations that boost mileage, such as advanced powertrains and transmissions, lighter components, and even fix-a-flat canisters in lieu of a traditional jack and spare tire, to save weight. Since 2007, the average fuel economy of cars purchased has risen from 20.1 miles per gallon to 23.6 mpg, according to the University of Michigan’s Transportation Research Institute.
Tough gas millage rules good for drivers and ALSO good for the auto industry.
