mpg, save 887 million gallons of fuel over the lifetime of the MY 2011 cars and light trucks, and reduce CO 2 emissions by 8.3 gCO 2 /mile. mpg US, a 2.0 mpg increase above MY 2010, corresponding to 326 gCO 2 /mi. mpg US (294 gCO 2 /mi); MY 2011 light trucks will reach 24.1 mpg (369 g/mi). Earlier post.).
Assuming 12,000 as the average miles driven per year and using the average mpg of the retired vehicles (15.8 mpg) and the newly purchased vehicles (25.0), they calculated that the program cut gasoline consumption by some 280 gallons per year per vehicle. Abrams, Burton A. and Parsons, George R. 2009) Is CARS a Clunker?
These are expected to result in a combined MY 2016 average vehicle emission level of 250 g CO 2 /mile (equivalent to 35.5 mpg if all improvements came from fuel economy) and 34.1 mpg US (6.9 mpg US (EPA). Final CAFE mpg US (NHTSA). mpg US (EPA). Final CAFE mpg US (NHTSA). mpg US (EPA).
In recent testimony before the US Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, US Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood said that substantive reductions in carbon emissions from transportation will require policies and programs that reduce vehicle miles traveled (VMT).
When Congress passed the Clean Air Act, it never gave EPA the explicit authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions for the purpose of stopping global climatechange. mpg in 2016 (39 mpg for cars, 30 mpg for trucks), or approximately 250 grams CO 2 /mile. But, that is exactly what EPA has proposed to do.
With a combined city and highway fuel economy of 112 miles per gallon equivalent, the i-MIEV outpaces all other vehicles currently sold in United States. Making its model year 2012 debut on the US market, the i-MIEV earned a score of 58, the highest Green Score awarded since the rankings began in 1998. ACEEE 2012 “Greenest” Rankings.
Ratings of how a model compares to all others for smog emissions and emissions of pollution that contribute to climatechange. An estimate of how much fuel or electricity it takes to drive 100 miles. Miles per gallon of gasoline-equivalent converts kilowatt-hours of electricity into gallons of gasoline (based on 33.7
miles per gallon, 0.8% miles per gallon MY 2017, according to the annual Automotive Trends Report released by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Tesla improved fuel economy (as measured in miles per gallon of gasoline equivalent, or mpge). In the US, Model Year (MY) 2018 vehicle fuel economy was 25.1 Source: EPA.
These upgrades range from a fuel economy improvement of 5-9 miles per gallon (MPG) in the US CARS program to 120 g CO 2 e per km (roughly 46 MPG) minimum in Italy’s scrappage program. Tags: ClimateChange Emissions Policy. The one exception is the US CARS program.
These standards would require these vehicles to meet an estimated combined average emissions level of 250 grams/mile of CO 2 in model year 2016. mpg in model year 2016. The 250 g/mile of CO 2 equivalent emissions limit by EPA is equivalent to 35.5 mpg by MY 2016. mpg by MY 2016.
For Model Year 2026, this results in an EPA-projected fleet-wide CO 2 emissions standard of 171 grams per mile—approximately 52 mpg US, which in turn corresponds to a real-world label value of 38.2 EPA is not proposing to revise GHG emissions standards for MY 2021 and MY 2022. Between $3.6
Included among these is a pilot program for Pay As You Drive auto insurance, intended to incent reduction in vehicle miles travelled (VMT). This includes varying the rates on new car sales taxes, annual auto excise (property) taxes, and registration fees, with rates raised on low-MPG vehicles and reduced on high-MPG ones.
mpg in 2016 (39 mpg for cars, 30 mpg for trucks), or approximately 250 grams CO 2 /mile. The CAFE program established by the EISA 2007 legislation specified a minimum 35 mpg in 2020. Tags: ClimateChange Emissions Policy. Adapting those would require the request and issuance of another EPA waiver.
Without strong action, those numbers are expected to keep rising, but reducing the nation’s impact on global climatechange and dependence on oil imports has proved problematic. Tags: ClimateChange Emissions Fuel Efficiency Policy. Taxes on motor vehicle fuels should be increased by $0.10 Heywood et al.
mpg for the combined industry-wide fleet (cars and light-trucks) for model year 2016. miles per gallon if all reductions came from fuel economy improvements. Tags: ClimateChange Emissions Fuel Efficiency Policy. The CAFE standards are expressed as mathematical functions depending on vehicle footprint.
By way of trans-Atlantic comparison, 95 g/km is equivalent to 152 g/mile; the current US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) greenhouse gas emissions standard (part of the joint national standard with NHSTA) calls for 250 g/mile in MY 2016. The proposed 2025 US standard would bring that down to 163 g/mile in MY 2025.
medical and climatechange costs), the net present benefit would be $5,700 per seat. The eTrans can be equipped with a battery pack ranging from 40 kWh to 120 kWh; for the study, the eTrans was outfitted with an 80 kWh battery that has a range of 100 miles. mpg, including the effects of idling on efficiency.
Such a performance level would require universal deployment of one or more of: electric vehicles (EVs) running on nearly zero-carbon electricity; cellulosic-biofuel-powered vehicles achieving 300 miles per gallon (0.78 L/100 km); or gasoline-fueled vehicles achieving in excess of 1,000 mpg (0.24 Sager et al.
mpg US (6.9 Because credits for air-conditioning improvements can be used to meet the EPA standards, but not the NHTSA standards, the EPA standards require that by the 2016 model-year, manufacturers must achieve a combined average vehicle emission level of 250 grams of carbon dioxide per mile. mpg US (6.6 Earlier post.)
In 2009, EPA issued an Endangerment Finding that vehicle greenhouse gas emissions contribute to climatechange, and thus threaten public health and welfare. The final standards as maintained were projected to result in an average industry fleet-wide level of 163 grams/mile of CO 2 in model year 2025—equivalent to 54.5
The vehicles components of this study were sized to satisfy the target AER under the EPA combined mpg (2008+) which adjusts FTP and HWFET test results to estimate outcomes from a 5-cycle test, which results in lower efficiency estimates and thus AER. Cost and GHGs per mile for different daily driving distances and patterns.
And if a decent percent of white collar workers continue to work from home at least a few days per week, many of them may decide to hold on to their car longer because of fewer days commuting and lower overall miles travelled each year. Even the BMW 3 Series gets up to 26 city / 36 highway miles per gallon.
The electric grid, meanwhile, is fragile and, as climatechange increases, we’re seeing more failures. Well, in 2019, Americans drove roughly 9 billion miles per day. A “high efficiency” electric vehicle gets about 4 miles per kilowatt-hour. As such, doing things that spike your load will cause a jump in your bill.
Although Climatechange is a massive problem, it always comes down to money with the real decision makers so rite now you could say people use only steam reforming but we havent really developed H2 technology much have we??? In lots of other cities around the world the majority of electricity come from fossil fuels rite???

The transportation sector is by far the state’s largest source of air pollution and climate-changing gases. CARB says that incentives play a pivotal role in supporting California’s air quality, climate and petroleum-reduction goals. miles per gallon. The average replacement vehicle has a fuel economy of 80 mpg equivalent.
If we can again succeed like that, in a decade, we’ll look back and know that we got a great deal: safer, healthier, better lives, an economy no longer held hostage to petro-dictatorships and blindered, monopolistic companies, and a significant response to climatechange. Over time, we can conserve by reducing the miles we drive.
Cars serve as a means of transportation whose only other dimensions of interest are mpg and cost. Indeed, most automobile reviews note the tested vehicle price and the mpg but then focus on other vehicle characteristics of consequence to consumers but not as readily apparent.
This year’s MPG Marathon saw eco-drivers once again proving the possibilities of considerate driving to achieve staggering fuel savings. This year’s winner of the annual celebration of frugal footwork achieved an amazing 96 mpg! mpg, an impressive 25.09 mpg, an impressive 25.09 mpg, an improvement of 43.48
The new Secretary of State for Transport Lord Adonis and Transport Minister Sadiq Khan have both endorsed fuel efficiency extravaganza, the 2009 ALD Automotive/TOTAL ECO 10 MPG Marathon in Coventry on September 30 and 1st October. To put this in pound note terms, a driver covering 12,000 miles a year and averaging 30mpg at £0.95
The four-door sedan will deliver 40 miles on a charge; a small gasoline engine will recharge the battery as it approaches depletion, extending its range by as much as 200 miles. It offers 18 models that deliver 30 mpg or more. Posted by: Na | Apr 13, 2009 4:28:53 PM 18 models that get 30 mpg, yeah right! Thats right.
Nissan is working on an electric car that it says is on track to have a 100-mile range and 26-minute charge time. My parents live about 180 miles away, which is well outside the range of most electric cars. That’s 7 cents worth of electricity per mile driven. With a 55KWH battery, range is only 157 miles.
The CAFE program promised to double fuel economy by 2025 , but from 2012 to 2019, the real-world MPG of new vehicles improved just 7% , and annual gasoline consumption increased from 3.2 MPG as 14 out of 20 automakers failed to meet their standards. billion barrels.
