Average fuel economy of all new vehicles purchased in the U.S. and average estimated emissions per U.S. driver
01/23/2008
Information on fuel economy mpg for cars added to the American fleet tracks progress on fuel economy and meeting the U.S. goals of reducing reliance on imported oil. The estimate of emissions per driver show progress on reducing automobile emissions in the U.S., a key factor in overall emissions. This also indirectly shows the progress attainable in emerging market countries because the same manufacturers operate there and are able to bring new models with higher efficiency into these markets to reduce overall consumption and emissions. This is especially true for China and India where fuel needs and emissions for large demographics are becoming a major concern.

U.S. gasoline prices at the pump and the drop in price of Nymex crude oil in 2011
08/22/2011
U.S. gasoline prices are determined by the price of crude on world markets. There is a large difference between the lower price of Nymex crude and higher world crude oil prices. This causes the price of gasoline to drop very slowly at the pump with only small gains for motorists. Another factor is that refiners are maintaining higher prices.

High oil prices in 2008 and again in 2011. The danger this poses for the Detroit automakers as they continue to depend on SUV's and larger vehicles for revenues and profits. Even with the big strides in making small cars, a Chevy Cruze or a Ford Fiesta is still not as popular as a Honda Civic or a Toyota Prius, says one analyst.

Changes in public perception of Detroit auto companies and fuel efficiency in the 2006- 2008 period.
02/28/2006
Public perception changed in this period. Columnists like Friedman said in the NYT that "GM is more dangerous to America's future" and acting like a "crack dealer." This as GM was offering buyers of large low fuel efficiency vehicles gas capped at $1/99 per gallon. Ford offered free gas upto $1000 with aprepaid Master charge debit card, enough for 6000 miles. Were the automakers lagging behind changing conditions and not adapting to changing public perception, by fighting higher fuel efficiency standards in Congress. link to Hyundai where its technology executive says Hyundai can meet higher standards with new technology and not even counting hybrids in the picture.

Rising gasoline prices take an estimated $75-100 billion out of consumer's pockets in 2011. This is offset by $112 billion added by the payroll tax cut in 2011. Increasing job growth with 750,000 jobs added in 2011 by April 2011 also offset the rising gas prices with more consumer spending dollars.

Impact on oil demand and prices of the new U.S. fuel efficiency standards.
05/13/2011
Oil demand could drop by as much as 2.6 million barrels a day by 2025, as a result of the new U.S. fuel efficiency standards for 49 mpg by 2025. Fuel efficiency gains in China, India and other emerging market countries and increasing stability in the middle east, and the technological advances for low environmental impact shale oil could change the entire dynamic of world oil demand and prices. This happened in an earlier period of fuel efficency gains in the 1980's resulting in low crude oil prices.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
