States should avoid basing electrification mandates on vehicle emissions reduction and fueleconomy—grounds exclusively within federal control under the federal Clean Air Act and Energy Policy and Conservation Act. The article points to the 2019 Supreme Court case of Virginia Uranium v.
fleet fueleconomy faltered last year. Lucid will be getting Panasonic batteries, some U.S.-made. And we drive the 2023 Toyota Prius and bring you some of its backstory. How does it look this good, and why now? This and more, here at Green Car Reports. Today we bring you a first drive of the redesigned, fifth-generation Toyota Prius.
The results of this research have demonstrated the capability of the Magma xEV to achieve a brake thermal efficiency of 45% in this application, offering the potential of significant fueleconomy improvements over and above those of a conventional gasoline engine used in such a series hybrid powertrain.
The undetectable and seamless transitions have the Crown Hybrid EPA fueleconomy rated at 42 mpg city/41 highway/41 combined. Fueleconomy numbers reported by Clean Fleet Report are non-scientific and represent the reviewers driving experience using the dash gauge computer. Story by John Faulkner.
For example, we will account for regional differences in the total cost of ownership related to charging installation costs, electricity and gasoline costs, temperature effects on fueleconomy, and insurance as well as federal and state EV incentives and policies. Refueling patterns based on driver time valuation.
I get it – sound deadening equals fuel-economy killing weight. Fueleconomy is listed at 52 mpg across the board for city/highway/combined. Either way, good numbers though real-world fueleconomy often falls short of the EPA rating, as it did here. And there are worse offenders out there. Out the door price?

As I’ve often said in these reviews, those of us who are self-described car enthusiasts sometimes forget that while we might place a premium on acceleration or ride and handling, most car buyers don’t. Oh, and with decent fueleconomy, if possible (27/34/29 here). The 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Premium fits that bill.
This review will be an unusual dual-trim review – I drove two separate Sequoias within a short time of one another. They’re not different enough to justify two separate reviews. Fueleconomy checks in at 19/22/20 for all four-wheel-drive Sequoias and 21/24/22 for all two-wheel-drive versions. with one stone.

At least the promised fueleconomy is on the high side – EPA numbers are 29/40/33. A roomy cabin, spacious trunk, agreeable ride, useful controls, good fueleconomy, and a decent amount of features for $26 grand make for an appealing mix for those who focus more on needs as opposed to wants like high performance and coddling luxury.
Yeah, the fueleconomy is a big part of the appeal. You really have to try hard to send the fueleconomy below 40mpg - maybe, if I were daring, I’d spend an entire week driving in reverse and see what kind of mileage I’d get? If I had to pick a car for a coast-to-coast drive, this would be it.
Yeah, Tim just reviewed the standard Prius last week. That SE trim weighs about 110 pounds less - some of which comes from the smaller 17-inch alloy wheels, as well as the steel roof above one’s head instead of glass - which leads to a significant fueleconomy savings.
