In situations where consumers must average ratio information, such as comparing the fuel efficiency of two cars using the ratio miles per gallon, they often flub the numbers by incorrectly assuming the mathematic equation to find miles per gallon would be to average the sum of the mileage of both cars and then divide by two, instead of using a more complex equation needed to accurately compare ratios.
Like other major automakers, Audi (and its parent Volkswagen Group) is working on meeting its medium - term regulatory requirements (e.g., in the 2020 timeframe) by reducing the average fuel consumption of its new vehicles using a combination of three primary measures: optimizing its combustion engines for greater efficiency; developing alternative drive...

A wonderful road car with good fuel efficiency for an AWD heavy vehicle... On road trips, we have actually averaged close to 28mpg using cruise at... Read full review
The good thing about using a plug - in hybrid setup is improved fuel efficiency, and Land Rover claims the Range Rover Sport P400e averages just 2.8 l / 100 km (101 mpg UK), with corresponding CO2 emissions of only 64 g / km.
At Audi, efficiency and dynamics go hand in hand: The 1.4 TFSI uses on average just 5.9 litres of fuel per 100 km and emits just 139 g CO2 per km.
Today, LATAM Airlines Group's fleet averages seven years old, one of the most modern in the industry, resulting in greater fuel use efficiencies and less greenhouse gas emissions.
There's no need to use alternative fuels in order to achieve efficiency gains of around 30 % on average, only the political will is lacking.

Increasing the average fuel efficiency of a tractor - trailer from nearly six miles per gallon to nearly 11 miles per gallon would significantly reduce oil use in the transportation sector.
In order to achieve the target set by the Paris Agreement --- to limit the rise in global average temperature to below the 2 degree C threshold — all new construction must be designed to high energy efficiency standards and use no CO2 - emitting fossil fuel energy to operate; by 2050 the entire built environment must be carbon neutral.
The energy used each year by an average family (four people) with an electric water heater is roughly equal to the energy used by a medium - sized automobile driven 12,000 miles a year at an average fuel efficiency of 22 miles per gallon (about 11 barrels of oil).
The United States could have achieved the same reduction in oil use (~ 11 billion gallons of oil per year) by simply improving (average fleet) vehicle fuel efficiency by just over ONE MILE PER GALLON.»
1 The actual Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standard is expected to be about 49.6 mpg in 2025, with the remaining 5 miles per gallon equivalent reached through improvements to in - car air conditioners (better efficiency, reduced leaks, and use of refrigerants with a lower impact on the climate).
Oil Consumption: Nearly doubling the average fuel efficiency of new cars and light trucks is the single biggest step our nation can take to reduce oil use.
Essentially, in this time period, every existing building will either be retrofit to higher efficiency standards or replaced, 60 percent of light - duty vehicles will use electricity, so that the average fuel economy will be roughly 70 miles per gallon.
For example, the global average effect of any change in albedo from using solar power would be rather small in comparison to mitigation of climate change if that solar power is used (to displace fossil fuels) for a sufficient time period (example: if a 10 % efficient PV panel with zero albedo (reflectivity for solar (SW) radiation) covered ground with an albedo of 25 — 30 %, the ratio of total increased heating to electricity generation would be similar to that of many fuel - combusting or fission - powered power plants (setting aside inverter and grid efficiency, etc., but still it would be similar).
