Why Is It That People Cannot Develop Fuel-Efficient Vehicles?
Energy economy was viewed as a significant factor in their pick of a new car by a minimum of 1/3 of buyers in America. Way back in 1992 previously General Motors built a vehicle that got 100 miles to the gallon – and all these years afterwards one of people’s major concerns on top of global warming and pollution is dependence on foreign oil. Yet another car, the GM TPC, which looked a lot like the Geo Metro, weighed only 1000 pounds and could get 75 miles per gallon. Unfortunately, to be able to meet American safety regulations, the 3-cylinder vehicle required reinforcement weighing 200 pounds, which resulted in further development being discarded.
