A recent Question I came across on an "answers style site"

Do you think by 2020, vehicles will get 50 mpg but gas will cost $6 a
gallon?

_____________________________________________________________

Wake up USA! vehicles are alreadt doing 50 miles to the gallon, and
have been for the past 15 years.

A peugeot 106 with a 1.5 litre diesel engine, (manuafctured in 1996)
will return 50mpg easily, even when driving at 80mph, at lower speeds
you might expect 60 - 70mpg. Which is better than a prius right? Which
is why I don't understand the prius as a concept.

But yes your theory sounds robust, as people use less fuel / gas, then
the you will pay more.

Also in the UK at present we pay approx �1.00 for 1 litre of fuel
which is the same as $1.593200 for 1 litre or . . . .

$7.2 per gallon. Which might explain why we have such efficent cars in
the UK!!



$1.593 per liter works out to $6.029 per gallon.

Simple math really, I'm worried that you have so much trouble with it. There 
are 3.785 liters to a gallon, so 1,593 X 3.785 = 6.029. Maybe when you get 
60mpg and $7.20 per gallon, there's a link.
