The average fuel economy of new vehicles sold in the U.S. last month was 25.4 miles per gallon — an increase of 5.3 mpg since October 2007. The uptick reflects a combination of consumer demand and an increase in fuel efficiency among light-duty vehicles produced by automakers, said Brandon Schoettle, project manager at the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI). Meanwhile, the latest data from the UMTRI Eco-Driving Index estimates a 20% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions for the average driver who purchased a new vehicle in January 2014 compared to October 2007.
Bottom line if you don't like what it is costing for gas go get a new car.
The Diesel trucks, not so much. I am waiting for my 2015 2500HD GMC Dmax loaded at 62,500. (sticker) happy, but don't think the increase in MPG will offset the cost of the truck, LOL
Oh yeah I'll have the current truck that looks like new basically a south of the salt one for sale in mid June for about 26,000.
