New-Car Buyers Want Higher Gas Mileage (It Pays For Itself Too)

Consumer expectations match the adopted fuel-efficiency standards; drivers who expect to buy a new car in five years or more expect it to get 34.5 mpg, which matches the 2016 standard of 35 mpg. Drivers who already have fuel-efficient vehicles are more strongly interested in fuel economy, so as mileage standards increase through 2016, that overall support will rise. Consumers surveyed thought the U.S. should reduce oil consumption (they likely love their moms and like apple pie, too). The more important a respondent thought it was to cut oil use, the higher the expectation of gas-mileage levels in future vehicles. Three-quarters of respondents said they thought a 55-mpg standard for motor vehicles in 2025 was a good idea. More importantly, two-thirds think it's a good idea even if it costs more.
