VIEW OF EXPERTS Motorist Responsible For High Upkeep Costs
Industry experts summarize engineering advances in motor vehicles and note motorists demand more comfort power and accessories. They say larger high speed engines reduce fuel economy by about 244 miles per gallon and air conditioning adds up to 10 percent fuel loss. Driving habits and traffic jams also cut efficiency. Experts propose a 50 mile test at 45 mph to gauge true fuel use.
