In order to use the efficiency of a car engine in an optimal way, a maximum engine speed of 2,500 rpm for shifting is recommended for gas engines.
The maximum thermal efficiency of modern gasoline engines is over 50%, but legal cars on the road are only about 20% to 35% when used to power cars.
Unfortunately, even with regular car maintenance such as tuning and oil changes, the efficiency of today's gasoline engines is about 30-35%. In other words, about 65 cents per dollar spent on gasoline is wasted.
EPA's 2020 Automotive Trend Report preliminary data shows that the average fuel economy of 2020 model light trucks has increased to 25.7 miles per gallon (MPG). If this preliminary data holds, it will mark the highest average fuel economy ever for a new light commercial vehicle.
