Conversions are expensive, noted Lyle Shuey, Bright VP of Marketing and Sales, and the converted Transporters will not be as efficient as the purpose-built IDEA. By way of comparison, the IDEA is designed to have a 30-mile AER with fuel economy of 100 mpg. 100 mpg (2.4 15-22 mpg (15.6-10.7 2000 / 907. 2000 / 907.

mpg) and a 9.2% In their paper, the SwRI researchers reported that the conversion to D-EGR improved engine efficiency and fuel consumption at least 10% across the performance map, with some operating conditions seeing substantially higher improvements.

Using US EPA conversion factors ( earlier post ), 158 g/km is roughly equivalent to 34.8 mpg US for gasoline and 39.9 mpg US for diesel.). By 2000 that sector still only accounted for 0.1% Average CO 2 emissions from new cars sold in the UK in 2008 fell to 158.0 g/km in 2008—4.2% less than the 2007 figure and 16.8%

This is because the ethanol component may affect the conversion efficiency of the gasoline component in a blend, that is, make an engine more or less efficient in its use of the gasoline component. converted all vehicle efficiency measurements into vehicle energy efficiency (VEE, km/MJ) based on fuel energy densities reported in each study.

How does this sound: 100+ MPG in a regular vehicle? At $3 for a gallon of gas, driving a non-hybrid car costs 8-20 cents/mile (depending on MPG). Cost increments for a plug-in hybrid compact vehicle will be 10-20% more than a regular hybrid: $2000-3000 extra for a sedan; $5000 for an SUV. What Are Plug-In Hybrids?
