Current fuel economy policy clearly demonstrates this fact. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) continues to employ outdated mileage formulas (55 city 45 highway) that do not accurately represent consumers driving habits and dramatically tilts manufacturers into producing electric-vehicle solutions.

The Freightliner SuperTruck uses a downsized and downsped 10.7-liter Friction-reducing measures include a variable speed water pump, a clutched air compressor, low-viscosity oil and an improved cylinder kit. This reduces friction, and increases efficiency and fuel economy. DTNA SuperTruck technology elements. Click to enlarge.

The resulting higher BMEP levels allow downsizing of the engine at equivalent vehicle performance. The vehicle owner will realize high fuel economy because gasoline, with its greater eating value per volume, is the fuel that is primarily used for most driving modes.

The Most Plausible Early Market consumers value fuel economy. That could yield more than 50 mpg of fuel economy—or usage of less than 300 gallons per year—and still be a lot cheaper than a plug-in hybrid or a fuel cell vehicle, he noted. Based on the game results, battery pack requirements would be equal to or less than 2 kWh.

Methanol first surfaced as a potentially interesting transportation fuel in the wake of the oil crisis in 1973. Researchers at the US EPA investigating this approach concluded that the M85 and E85 engines could provide efficiencies comparable or higher than the diesel, in dedicated fuel, high compression ratio turbo charged/downsized engines.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which stewards the RFS, had repeatedly downsized the targets by nearly 25 percent. The EPA is under orders to propose a 2023 mandate by 16 November. The changes might nudge the RFS away from corn and oil: Car charging companies and power plant biogas suppliers might become eligible, too.
