The Efficiency of Cars Nikeisha S. Sandy SCI207: Dependence of Man on the Environment (ABL1146J) Instructor: Walter Lambert December 12, 2011 The efficiency of cars is a major issue. There are several reasons why cars should be more efficient, however, there are many reasons why they should not. The efficiency of a car can affect both the economy and the atmosphere. While cars should not be more efficient, cars should be more efficient because the cost to the consumer may decrease, more efficient cars can save money on taxes, and cars are a necessity. At one point, the idea of using a car that was electric powered may have seemed outrageous.
Trucks are better than cars. Cars do have advantage. You get more gas mileage on a car then on a truck. With gas being so expensive, one day everyone would like to find a ways to save money. People struggle to fill up there tanks in a truck the reason why is because of gas prizes coming to their highest.
Everyday vehicles create so much pollution that car emissions kill 30,000 people each year in the U.S. (Bluejay, 1). That is a lot of people dying from cars pollution. Car companies have tried to make more efficient cars which are called hybrids; these hybrids get more efficient gas mileage which creates less emissions because it
There are many things that cause global warming but one of the primary causes is cars and trucks on the road every day and all day and never ceases. It has been over a century gasoline powered cars have made it easy for us to get around but it's time for a change with the growing need of supply and demand, we need to start finding other resources to power our vehicles, therefore, is natural gas powered cars better than hybrid cars? By driving more efficient vehicles, oil imports can be cut, money can be saved, jobs can be created, and it will help with global warming. With gas prices on the rise up, wouldn't you want to save money just by using more efficient cars, such as, the hybrid or the electric automobiles? Hybrid electric vehicles combined with more than one power source offer additional flexibility to improve the fuel economy and to reduce pollutant emissions.
This ment people went to places more and this caused people to become more open to see the countryside more. Travelling therefore helped improve the minds of the American car owners. While car ownership did have a major role in the improvement in the way of life for Americans it wouldn’t have happened without the other factors. The new consumer goods encouraged more people to by radios and cars, high employment gave people money to spend sometimes on the
I also think the technology exists to boost up the miles per gallon (mpg) a car can have. I believe this because if we have the technology to clone animals and reproduce children without mothers, than we should have the technology to boost our cars mpg. The benefit of a car with a higher mpg will in turn produce a lower carbon emission rating, which means cleaner air with less carbon dioxide. Driving a car is the most common air polluting act a human commits. They commit this on a daily basis with little knowledge of it.
Hybrid cars market IV. Obstacles for hybrid cars in the world market A. hybrid cars are more expensive than normal gasoline cars 1. High manu0066acturing cost for Hybrid car 2. Expensive maintenance cost V. People realized that the hybrid cars are a brilliant innovation in the world; however, there are some obstacles with the hybrid cars that should be developed to be the standard car of the world in near future.

Viet Nam is harvesting and using a large amount of fuel, mostly gasoline. The Vietnamese government is trying to increase the tax of cars and motorcycle not only to minimize the different between rich and poor people but to reduce the traffic, reducing toxic gases released to the
Some may say that hybrids are beneficial to the economy but they leave out the high costs, safety issues, and difficulties that come with buying a hybrid vehicle. The high cost of owning a hybrid vehicle is outrageous, you have to buy a very expensive battery, car charger, and you can’t forget maintenance on the vehicle, when it comes time to repair it. The price of owning a hybrid car is shocking, it can range anywhere from $30,000 to $45,000, and can even cost over $110.000 for some of the most advanced models (All Data Base). If you think this price is fair for this type of vehicle, wait until you have to replace the batteries, because once the car battery ages it will hold less charge, meaning the battery will die faster, and eventually you will have to replace the battery packs, or you may have to buy a new car. These batteries cost anywhere from $3,000 to $8,000 (Auto.Serv.pg.
Technology for a less invasive co-existence is available, therefore, cars should be more efficient because efficiency will help to reduce emissions that contribute to greenhouse gases and global warming, will help to conserve fossil fuels, and will hopefully make it possible to leave less of a carbon footprint on our Earth. Transportation has become a necessary evil in our society. With the aid of technological advancements, the effects of such transportation don’t necessarily have to be quite so “evil”. It is true that over the last hundred years motorized vehicles have steadily become more efficient. Sheer numbers of vehicles though have significantly contributed to increased and detrimental levels of air pollution.
