The Obama administration 2012 fuel economy plan called for a doubling in fuel economy for new cars and light trucks, to more than 50 miles per US gallon (4.7 L/100 km; 60 mpg ‑imp) by 2025, equivalent to a real-world average of 36 miles per US gallon (6.5 L/100 km; 43 mpg ‑imp). In April 2018, saying "those standards are inappropriate and ...
The federal tax on fuels, a major source of revenue for infrastructure spending, remains the same as it was in 1993, [21] at $0.183 (~$0.00 in 2023) per gallon ($0.048 per liter). [22] In addition, the Highway Trust Fund is losing its effectiveness thanks to improving energy efficiency and the arrival of alternative-fuel vehicles whose owners ...
The facility would produce 190,000 cubic metres of drinking water per day, enough to supply about 100,000 homes. [167] As of June 2012, the cost for the desalinated water had risen to $2,329 per acre-foot. [168] Each $1,000 per acre-foot works out to $3.06 for 1,000 gallons, or $0.81 per cubic meter. [169]
The New York City teachers' strike of 1968 was a months-long confrontation between the new community-controlled school board in the largely black Ocean Hill–Brownsville neighborhoods of Brooklyn and New York City's United Federation of Teachers.
The Airbus A320neo family is an incremental development of the A320 family of narrow-body airliners produced by Airbus.The A320neo family (neo being Greek for "new", as well as an acronym for "new engine option") is based on the enhanced variant of the previous generation A319, A320, and A321, which was then retrospectively renamed the A320ceo family (ceo acronym for "current engine option").
Maintenance hours per flight hour was also improved from 30 early on to 10.5 by 2009, lower than the requirement of 12; man-hours per flight hour was 43 in 2014. When introduced, the F-22 had a Mean Time Between Maintenance (MTBM) of 1.7 hours, short of the required 3.0; this rose to 3.2 hours in 2012.
This proved not to be the case: the engine consumed much more fuel than expected, burning 3.8 US gallons per mile (890 L/100 km). The GM design used a new variable-compression diesel design. [33] By spring 1976, the decision to choose the GM design was largely complete.
