when do we get the cars with the fuel efficiency of those in Europe and other parts of the world?

Did you know that you can save fuel and run your car on water
twickywoo questioned:
All of the foremost car companies yield, manufacture and sell cars around the planet, right. Why does a F*** 1ton van in the U.S. get 14MPG, and in Irland get 35MPG? Same vital van, same company, differrent public. Just was in tension a name may maybe clarify this to me and the rest of us. Why do they not want us to have these vehicles in our driveways. Or mayby I must be asking, “How many public out here know about this? Looking forwards to your view and answers
Did you know that you can save fuel and run your car on water
Our public’s leadership isn’t as proactive and aggressive about the background as additional countries’. Over here, set of laws break down harvest to be existing that place much less of an environmental imprint while over here, policies give manufacturers much leeway to cut emissions more incrementally. It took a Supreme Court declaration this year to break down the Bush Handing out to handle carbon emissions as a impurity, and the resolve of this Handing out to implement that declaration is questionable. So, we await better leadership to catch up with additional countries on conservation and emissions caps.
Cuz Irish public are cool and know that it’s excellent to save energy so they can do it well.
US gallons are smaller.
US oil is effectivly subsidised, see Severe report,, it does not reside in the same level of tax, so less fiscal incentive for public to chat. And here are tax breaks for Hummers. Also MPG targets for cars exclude trucks, therefore the most polluting SUVs (Slow Hideous Vehicles) can continue to use ancient clunky equipment.
US has vehicles like tesla & Phoenix unfilled, you just need to go & support/buy them.;. And hybrids were bent specifically for the US market at the start.
then see
They buy their gas in liters and the US uses gallons. Due to terrible math, it just looks privileged but is the same.
The gas they use also doesn’t have all the additives required by US law and these also reduce mileage.
We get just so what we question for. I am really exhausted of hearing this ancient conspiracy business about the car companies and MPG’s. Car companies want to sell cars. They will yield what we want to buy.
Up until recently, most of us have rejected cars and trucks that are set alight and get splendid mileage. Fuel has always been much cheaper here than in Europe and Japan, so we would not buy those cars. Do you really judge all the greedy companies out here would pass on promotion millions of small energy efficient cars if we demanded them?
When you allocate the regime to lower the air feature principles to those of Europe so that the auto companies can place diesel engines in domestic cars like they do in Europe.
Here are many ways to make a gas powered vehicle more fuel “efficient”. Here are five:
1. Make it lighter
2. Make it smaller displacement engine
3. Make it more polished
4. Cleaner burning engine or
5. Supplemental potential source
If you want a vehicle with less comfort and less acceleration, then do that. Fleets do it all the time. Go for less facial appearance that add consequence and “load” on the engine, like gripping windows and upholstery, and go for the smallest displacement engine unfilled.
Additional than that the only way to boost gas mileage in a 1 ton van is to get a tow from a hybrid.
.
Public in the USA are obsessed with potential. They buy vehicles with all kinds of potential that they don’t need and nearly never use.
Potential comes at the cost of state, pure and unadorned.
(1)When/if the price of gas hits $5-6 a gallon like it is in Europe. Of course, then they’ll really wage war around the gobe, apart from no one will scare with the total “war on terrorism” jabber
(2) When here is some leadership in Congress adding a luxury tax to all non cash-making vehicles that do not meet minimum MPG guidelines
(3) When the hot place where George is inane, freezes over.
I don’t reflect you can find the same van, one being paid 14 MPG and the additional being paid 35 MPG. If you reflect I am incorrect, give me an model.
You can get the same cars as in Europe and additional parts of the planet, but unknown wants them.
In view of the fact that gasoline is about dual the price in Europe than it is here. Plus, here are many diesel powered cars. Jeep offers a diesel engine (as well as VW) that are much much more efficient than gas. (The burn is more exact, gasoline engines are only about 20% efficient).
europeans also don’t have a ‘larger is better” attitude that we have here.
If public aren’t export, companies wont make it. If public demand fuel efficient cars….then they will be made.
