American try's to improve fuel effectiveness in cars

Sourced from Design news.com Washington, D.C. In July 2011, President Barack Obama announced a historic agreement with 13 automakers to increase fuel economy to 54.5 miles per gallon for cars and light duty trucks by model year 2025. They rolled out plans for hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and electric cars. They announced motor-generators for mild hybrids. end quote. The target of increasing fuel effectiveness is a much needed goal but the achievement of making a car do 54 miles to the gallon is NOT overall impressive when considering the time frame. Some manufactures already do produce vehicles that are capable of 50 mile and more to the gallon, for example the Mitsubishi Colt already does this amount with a 1.2 engine, and for the 4x4 range Mitsubishi L200 is known to be capable of on average of getting 30 to 34 mile to the gallon given another two decade's the fuel efficiency of European and Asian car's could possible reach 100 to 150 by the same time frame.
