Fuel economy was thought to be a significant factor in their pick of a new car by a minimum of 1/3 of buyers in America. Due to the preoccupation today with pollution, global warming and America's dependence on overseas sources of oil, it's actually shocking to learn that as long ago as 1992 a car that got 100 miles to the gallon was built by General Motors. Another automobile, the GM TPC, which looked a lot like the Geo Metro, weighed only 1000 pounds and would get 75 miles per gallon. Keep well-arranged data on your own vehicle. You have to have easily accessible documents of all things in regards to preserving your automobile when going to a technician. Nicely-organized documents will help them detect an issue properly the 1st time. Unorganized records can result in perform repeatedly repairs and lots of squandered time and money.Regrettably, in order to meet American safety regulations, the 3-cylinder vehicle required reinforcement weighing 200 pounds, which led to further development being discarded.
It may be stunning that GM had this car built and abandoned, but they had other prototypes that ended the same way. A few of these were the 1982 GM Lean Machine which performed 80 miles per gallon, and the GM Ultralite which managed to do 100 mpg. In 1992 Honda had been attaining 50 miles per gallon with the Civic VX, and at the same time General Motors had vehicles behind the scenes getting 100 MPG, though selling the public cars that were getting 20 MPG. http://www.morewer.com/changing-car-oil-and-its-benefits/ If perhaps cars which were able to get 100 miles per gallon had already been developed way back then, why is it that such cars are not being sold today?
Another perplexing thing is that a lot of companies, while selling fuel-eficient vehicles in foreign countries, are selling traditional gas guzzlers in the US. Buyers in Japan and Europe have for quite some time now been able to get cars that do 70 miles per gallon and more. A case in point of a car / truck never marketed inside the US and capable of 78 mpg, is the Lupo by Volkswagen. In 2007, Honda in the united states launched the FIT, in other places known as the Jazz. The Jazz in Japan has solutions to enhance fuel economy and a smaller engine, but for the US, the Fit doesn't even contain a smaller engine as an option.
In The United States the manufacturers point out they have to build big cars because that is what the American public wants. Not surprisingly they generate big money on SUVs, and virtually nothing on a small two-person commuter. American citizens have been brainwashed with ads to believe that they just simply must have the latest and largest bundu basher. It is quite apparent where the big companies' interests lay when you consider that they have never offered options. GM could currently have been in the leading position with fuel-efficient vehicles, but they chose, rather, to champion SUVs. A number of other manufacturers in addition have developed fuel-efficient cars, but they've all practiced the same as GM by not offering them to Americans.
American auto makers have not given the US people the choice to acquire a fuel-efficient car, despite the world having beem embroiled in oil wars and being severely polluted. The question comes up: how many Americans would've welcomed the option of getting a car with good gas mileage but weren't ever offered it? Perhaps it is time for you to get those old plans back out and build a vehicle that has already been built before.
