Redoing the midterm review of national fuel economy standards is an egregious act of government waste that could result in the rollback of essential consumer protections. The EPA’s previous technical review of the current fuel economy standards shows that the standards are not only well within reach, but are already working.

Syracuse University (with BorgWarner of Ithaca) is working on a diesel engine fuel injection system that would create a “supercritical” mixture of fuel and carbon dioxide for a more efficient, less polluting engine. The technology could increase fuel efficiency 5 to 10%. NYSERDA funding: $260,000. NYSERDA funding: $50,000.

A well-maintained engine runs happier and cleaner, emitting fewer pollutants into the air. Well, you’re using a bit less fuel to run the AC, but your car is less aerodynamic, which reduces fuel economy. At higher speeds, the drag from open windows can significantly reduce fuel efficiency. Is It Worth It in the End?
