Administrator Pruitt also announced the start of a joint process with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to develop a notice and comment rulemaking to set revised GHG emissions standards and Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards. The Obama Administration’s determination was wrong.

The SKYACTIV-X combines the benefits of a spark-ignition gasoline engine—expansiveness at high rpms and cleaner exhaust emissions— with those of a compression-ignition diesel engine—superior initial response and fuel economy. The ideal (stoichiometric) air-fuel ratio is 14.7:1 In a vehicle with a 2.0L

Similarly, when asked the top benefit of driving an EV, EV and nonEV drivers alike agree that cost savings from better fuel economy was the top choice (58%, 59% respectively). Volvo Cars is taking a bold lead with electrification in the auto industry. That said, misperceptions regarding the cost of EVs are common.

The conversion can double or even triple fuel economy, thereby severely limiting carbon dioxide emissions. Catalytic converters, along with so-called leak-proof emissions systems, are the primary reason why today’s cars are so much cleaner than those of several decades ago.

ICEVs have been around for a while, and although they’ve had the time to perfect their manufacturing process and we’ve seen increased pressure on the importance of fuel economy and emissions, the thermal efficiency of the average light vehicle engine remains between 20-35%, and we’re not seeing much improvement beyond this.
