It now costs me at least 50 per cent more to fill up my car than it did a few years ago, and with every gas-sipping vehicle I drive I wonder if it is worth my while to move on and get something new.
I’m sure I am not the only one to think like this, although because I drive a different vehicle every week I probably think this way more than the regular Joe.
Auto dealers have also been wringing better mileage from their vehicles each year and with the U.S. corporate average fuel economy emissions rules for 2016 each manufacturer of cars and trucks with a GVWR of 10,000 lbs or less will have to average just over 35 mpg, and the average for its cars will have to be 42 mpg for every vehicle in their entire fleet.
