Automakers Not Making Fuel Efficient Vehicles Available in U.S.

A disturbing statement released from CSI/40mpg.org says that their latest research study is showing that while automakers continue to come out with vehicles that boast the increased standards for fuel efficiency, these models are simply not available in U.S. territory. American consumers are feeling gypped, and rightly so.

The ability of automobile manufacturers to create cars that meet fuel efficiency standards are partly due to the demand from the consumer, and an inability to offer the product that the public has insisted upon is irresponsible and unfair for car buyers.

To combat the problem of fuel efficiency unavailability, consumers are going to Congress. The concerned are asking Congress to raise the standards for vehicle fuel efficiency so that automakers must make their energy-efficient products available in the United States like they are in many countries overseas.

CSI President Pam Solo said: "We have to face the unpleasant facts here: America is needlessly losing the race to develop the best fuel-efficient technology and then deliver it to the American consumer, which wants these cars and other vehicles that would use less imported fuel and create less global-warming pollution. The Europeans, Japanese and Chinese are already committed to far more aggressive MPG standards than we are in the United States."
