Who actually gets better MPG of Gasoline? The new Tahoe or the Prius? ’07 Tahoe - Gasoline ’07 Tahoe – E85 ’06 Prius – Hybrid MPG (Fuel) 21 MPG 17 MPG 55 MPG MPG (Gasoline) 21 MPG 113 MPG 55 MPG Memo: Miles per Tank 550 miles 460 miles 660 miles of Fuel 21 MPG 17 MPG 55 MPG E85 Fuel – up to 20% shorter cruising range
There are over 46 models (1 million vehicles) of flexible fuel, hybrid and advanced diesel cars and trucks available right now! 2 million cars per year by 2008!
Provide Incentives for Vehicle Choices for the 21st Century • Double the tax credit for consumers who purchase the most advanced available flexible fuel hybrid electric vehicles that dramatically reduce oil consumption • Remove the 60,000 vehicle cap on the hybrid tax credit to encourage broad market penetration • Add new $300 tax credit to speed introduction of flexible fuel vehicles • Establish 5 year goal for market wide flexible fuel vehicle introduction-- similar to earlier airbag introduction • Establish a program to test and inform consumers about tire fuel efficiency which can improve overall vehicle efficiency by 3-4%
Establish programs and incentives to encourage research and production of near term vehicle efficiency technologies, lightweight materials, and advanced technology motor vehicles • Provide incentives and requirements for the conversion of private and federal vehicle fleets • Establish a program of initial fuel efficiency for new heavy duty trucks and incentives to install auxiliary power units to reduce truck idling • Encourage similar efforts to reduce school bus idling • Reform CAFÉ standards to focus on miles per gallon of gasoline instead of miles per gallon of fuel – flexible fuel vehicles can already reach over 100 miles per gallon of gasoline by using E-85 fuels
Expand Consumer Fuel Choices for the 21st Century • Set a national goal “E10 in 10” – to expand the use of Ethanol for transportation fuel to 10% of total domestic consumption by 2015. • Set a national goal of “20% in 20 years” – to expand the use of all alternative transportation fuels to 20% of domestic consumption by 2025; which might include Ethanol produced from corn, sugar and other cellulosic agricultural products and waste products, Methanol and alternative diesel fuel produced from coal or agricultural products, Hydrogen or electricity • Require plan to meet goals of not less than 50% renewable and 50% domestic resources
Remove all tariffs on imported ethanol used for liquid transportation fuel – we don’t tax Middle Eastern oil why tax Brazilian Ethanol? • Provide incentives to continue research and industrialize new technologies which will bring fuel choice to the consumer • Increase incentives to provide alternative fueling distribution properties.
