The oil company Shell started a contest for high school and colleges to see if they could get cars to increase their mileage, what a joke that is because cars have not kept pace with requirements and its the oil companies that are preventing high mileage cars from being produced!!!
In 1973 the phony oil induced oil embargo which I say was phony because my moms uncle was captain on a Greek oil freighter and he came to California for Christmas and told us his ship was parked outside New York harbor because they could not unload the oil fast enough!!! That was New York harbor where ships were lined up for miles outside of it!!!
The 1973 Arab oil embargo prompted Congress to pass legislation in 1975 that ... The purpose was to improve the fuel economy of the passenger vehicle fleet to ... In 2002, California enacted the Clean Cars Law (AB 1493) to set vehicle ... requires vehicles to meet an estimated combined average of up to 48.7 mpg in 2025. Chevy had several economy cars that got over 50 miles per gallon and Volkswagen recently designed and built a car that gets 300 miles per gallon and the bastards in the oil industry have done all they ca to prevent the car from entering the U.S.
See what a joke on America the so called legislation is, we should be getting around 100 to 150 miles to the gallon
The prototype gasoline car built by students at Université Laval in Quebec turned in a winning 2,565 mpg run Saturday at the Shell Eco-marathon Americas in Houston, Texas. The school also plans to compete in the Europe Eco-marathon next month.
Just recently I sent out an email with a Volkswagen that gets 300 miles to the gallon
so what does that tell you about the so called legislation? Its a joke!! We need to tell our congress critters to start acting likeour legislators and stop selling their souls to the devil!!!!
