Default +1 MPG Could Offset BP Oilfield Shutdown, Say Scientists

+1 MPG Could Offset BP Oilfield Shutdown, Say Scientists

Quote:
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 11 (OneWorld) - The loss of 400,000 barrels of oil a day caused by the closure of BP's Prudhoe Bay oilfield in Alaska could be offset if all the cars and trucks in the United States got just one extra mile per gallon of fuel efficiency, a prominent non-profit grouping of scientists said this week.

The report from the Washington, DC-based Union of Concerned Scientists also says United States drivers would spend $50 million less each day on gasoline with the modest improvement of gas mileage.

I just wish they would link to my site. It is prety much a given that your FE will increase 10% (which even on a guzzler would be > 1mpg).

No, this isn't an ad. I just hate it when people talk about such a paultry number like 1mpg. I beg any of you that have settled for what you get in FE to read the posts on GreenHybrid and to do a google search on improving your FE. And of course visiting www.cleanmpg.com wouldn't hurt either ;0)
