President Obama and his administration have recently announced their challenge to the auto industry: raise your fuel average to 62 mpg by the end of 2025. Seems simple enough, right? Hopefully the luxury line up from Manchester Mercedes-Benz will be able to comply with such high standards. Remember that this change won't happen over night and the increase in technology to make that goal attainable will happen over time. Before that happens, keep your current vehicle running as long as possible by visiting places like Richmond Body Shop Dealers. The motto in America is leaning towards "reduce, reuse, recycle," so do your part and keep your car running and out of junk yards.
Even Portland Volvo Coupons are in effect right now to encourage the purchase of their new fuel efficient vehicles. If the average fuel economy of vehicles is in the 47-62 mpg range by 2025, then we will have seen a 3-6% increase in fuel efficiency annually over that length of time. When you break it down that way, the growth sure does seem completely possible. Auto makers are excited for the challenge, but the fuel bill hasn't been made final yet. Given the overwhelming positive response it would be unlikely that the bill wouldn't pass.
For people still in doubt that all the cars on the road will have that kind of fuel economy by 2025, remember that it is an average among the fleet. CAFE is the acronym standing for Corporate Average Fuel Economy. All vehicle's within an auto maker's brand that weigh less than 8,500 pounds are taken into consideration. The fuel economy among the entire fleet must meet the current CAFE goal. Right now, the current CAFE goal is 27.5 mpg, which it has been since 1989; before that it was 18 mpg. By 2016 the fuel economy ratings must be up to 35.5, and with the introduction of more electric vehicles and hybrids, that should be readily attainable.
