The demonstrator further develops AVL’s efficient low carbon ELC concept ( earlier post ). The production-ready technology offers the potential of a mass-market, gasoline-fueled family car with drivability, performance and 5.6 liters/100 km (42 mpg US) fuel consumption achieved at lower cost than an equivalent diesel model.

Feebates,” rebates to purchasers of high-fuel-economy vehicles balanced by a tax on low-mpg vehicles is a complementary policy that would assist manufacturers in selling the more-efficient vehicles produced to meet fuel economy standards. The average of all conventional LDVs sold in 2050 might achieve CAFE test values of 74 mpg (3.18

In contrast, imagine the public outcry if the cost of gasoline varied from $3.00 Gasoline prices varied for the week of 3/14 from $3.95 cents/kWh, with a range from 29.20 in Connecticut.

Here’s our rough draft, which we’re releasing as we refine the concept—we moved up our plans when we learned about the Tuesday address. We ask organizations to move this realistic, conservative, and cost-effective approach to the top of their talking points and priorities. We already upgrade our computers. We can upgrade vehicles too.

The adiabatic engine guys in the 80s had the same concept—keep the heat in [for more efficiency]. We net diesel-like efficiencies on this teeny gasoline engine. The reason you do opposed pistons is that the surface area to volume ratio of the combustion chamber is small. We don’t have the hit that the Atkinson cycles do.
