WASHINGTON - Earlier this year, U.S. government regulators have proposed that the car may be marketed must have a fuel consumption of 62 mpg (26 km per liter). Just awful, it's got a strong reaction discourse, especially from car manufacturers from home. Last month, the figure dropped again to 56.2 mpg (23.8 km per liter or 23.8 kpl), while the auto industry try to push up to 50 mpg with a compromise figure 54.5 mpg (22.9 kpl).

Heated debate about fuel efficiency that will be applied against any U.S. Government vehicle ended. The leaders of the automotive industry in the land of Uncle Sam and government regulators, reports the AP news agency, last week, agreed to a compromise. United States President, Barack Obama has also announced its policy.
Steps taken by none other than the U.S. government for vehicle owners save money and reduce the heat out of the exhaust tip.However, the main purpose of this policy is the biggest drop in fuel consumption since the 1970s.
Three giant U.S. objections
In his speech, President Barack Obama said that starting 2025, every car has a fuel consumption of 54.5 mpg or 23.2 kpl. The producers have started applying it to car production in 2017.Today, the average consumption of gasoline cars in the United States 11.5 kpl.
"This agreement on standard fuels and is the most important step as a nation to reduce our dependence on foreign oil," Obama explained in his address to the executives of car manufacturers in the White House.
If it's 54.5 mpg figures can be implemented, continued Obama, then the target of reducing U.S. oil consumption of the vehicle could reach 40 percent. Not only that, other benefits could also halve the amount of pollution from the blast of exhaust tip.
In addition, Obama also read other regulations. Among other things, for American families, it was agreed should be refueled instead of once a week, but in two weeks. In this way, they will save up to 8,000 U.S. dollars.
Just awful, these policies have a strong reaction from three giant U.S. automaker (Ford, GM, and Chrysler). They (the three manufacturers) sent a letter to Obama that it mentions that the proposal high Michigan Parliament was "too aggressive" and they can make the efficiency of vehicles at an average rate of 42.6 mpg (18.1 kpl) up to 46.7 mpg (19.8 MPA).
Japanese manufacturers challenged
Compared with the manufacturer of the host, Japan seems most ready to face this policy because the producers had a weapon or electric hybrid vehicles.
Like the Nissan, they have been marketed Leaf, which is 100 percent electric vehicles, starting in December 2010. More than 4,000 vehicles with 43 liters per km consumers are ready to circulate on the road.
On the other hand, Honda proudly claim to have been actively working with the government. They developed national fuel efficiency and emissions standards. Honda accepted the challenge, "said American Honda executive John Mendel.
Honda Insight hybrid vehicle has, then also the Fit (Jazz) and CR-Z is still under development. Toyota did not lose much. In addition to the Prius hybrid and plug-in hybrid, there Vitz, RAV4, and several other models.
"The administration has issued several policies to extreme heat and aims to reduce the greenhouse effect and the target fuel efficiently. Nissan is ready with the task," said Vice President of Nissan's American Scott Becker.
