L/100km (96 mpg US), with 70 mpg highway. In both cases, the technical package includes exhaust gas recirculation, oxidation catalytic converter and diesel particulate filter. The car features a safety frame of aluminium, steel and carbonfiber. Earlier post.).
liters per 100 kilometers (112 mpg US) under the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC), with CO 2 emissions of 49 g/km—less than half the current average for B-segment cars. Due to small amount of heat generated by high-efficiency engines, heat from both the engine and exhaust is used for heating the interior.
The Stingray accelerates from 0-60 in less than four seconds and achieve more than 1g in cornering grip; it is also expected to be the most fuel-efficient Corvette, exceeding the EPA-estimated 26 mpg (9.05 An available dual-mode active exhaust system offers a 27% improvement in airflow. l/100km) of the current model. inches to 2.75

Toyota’s carbonfiber closure panels for the 2017 Prius Prime and Lexus LC500 ( earlier post ), and Faurecia’s Adaptive Valve for exhaust systems employed on the 2017 Chevrolet Silverado took the top honors for the module category. 2017 Chrysler Pacifica. Weight reduction is a key contributor to improved fuel economy.
In hybrid mode, the Prius Prime exceeds all competitors’ fuel economy ratings with EPA-estimated 55 city/53 highway/54 combined MPG. Additional weight savings come from a Toyota-made lightweight carbon-fiber rear hatch. The EPA-estimated all-electric range is up to 25 miles at up to 84 mph. Pricing starts at $27,100.
The long rear hatch is made of carbonfiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP)—an advantage of 6.6 Numerous additional detailed measures targeted the interior, the exterior and the technology, such as higher-grade, lighter steel for the exhaust system’s tailpipes. The fixed rear wing is good for an additional 1.2 kilograms (2.65
EERE’s Vehicles Technologies Program (VTP) is focused on developing technologies to enable average new vehicle fuel economy of more than 60 mpg (3.9 L/100 km) for cars and more than 43 mpg (5.5 Exhaust Aftertreatment Materials. L/100 km) for trucks by 2025. Innovative Engine Boosting Technologies. Advanced Manufacturing.
The sleek tractor-trailer combination boosted fuel efficiency by 70%—exceeding 12 mpg, with some test runs showing more than 13 mpg—in road tests, and powertrain brake thermal efficiency reached 50%. This new design added “wave” bumps on the side of the piston bowl, which allows the fuel to burn more cleanly.).
Other performance and/or off-road bits include a dual exhaust, skid plates, running boards, LED fog lamps, trail control, tow hooks, modular front bumper, 17-inch wheels, an electronic locking 4.10 I mentioned the abysmal fuel-economy numbers – they are 10 mpg city/15 mpg highway/12 mpg combined.
Clean Fleet Report has tested many Toyota hybrid models and know this fuel economy number can easily be topped, getting in the 40+ mpg range. With the change comes an increase in horsepower from 139 to 169, faster 0-60 mph by two seconds and fuel economy increased to 31 mpg city/40 highway/34 combined. Corolla Sedan and Hatchback.
high-performance at 20 mpg city/27 highway/22 combined. In 240 miles driving around Southern California we averaged 23 mpg, but in a 100-mile run with the adaptive cruise control set at 65 mph, we averaged 31.2 mpg, exceeding the EPA figure. And yes, you can spin the tires! The EPA has rated the EcoBoost 2.3L
Unassuming Speed McLaren lets you know right away the GT is a serious driver’s car—the carbonfiber steering wheel is void of all buttons and controls for the audio, telephone and cruise control—meaning serious driving ahead. The roof with a fixed glass panel slopes to the carbonfiber deck lid with a window over the 14.8

Below it, the exhaust manifold is integrated into the cylinder head—a key element of efficient thermal management. US mpg) and emits 129 grams of CO 2 per kilometer (208 grams per mile). seconds and 210 km/h (131 mph).
When at the dealer, make sure to lift the hood and get a look at the beautiful Trofeo carbonfiber red and black engine cover, which by far is the most attractive we have seen. The EPA estimates fuel economy to be 13 mpg city/20 highway/16 combined running on 91 octane. CarbonFiber, Wood and Leather.
If you order the performance exhaust or go for the Z51 package, those numbers go up to 495 and 470. mpg, but in two 100-mile highway runs with the cruise control set at 65 mph, we achieved 30.1 With a twist of a couple latches off comes the removable carbonfiber roof, letting in the open air.
The mpg ratings are for city/highway/combined. RWD we drove 225 miles through Southern California, averaging 24 mpg. The lower edges of the fascia, with diffusers, house chrome-tipped dual horizontal exhaust ports. We also feature those efficient gas-powered vehicles that are among the top mpg vehicles in their class.
Clean Fleet Report spent a week exploring Southern California in the front-wheel drive XT5 Premium Luxury, which the EPA rates at 19 mpg city/26 highway/21 combined mpg. We were surprised to cross the 30 mpg mark for this 3,915-pound, five-passenger midsize SUV. In 224 miles of mostly freeway driving we averaged 22.5
