Madison: If you’re wondering how you can afford to travel when gas costs $2.25 at the pump, the answer may be in getting 40 miles per gallon.
While that’s out of reach for most vehicles today, UW Automotive Faculty Advisor Glenn Bower says it’s not unrealistic for the vehicles of tomorrow. “More like a Ford Taurus will be in the high 35’s to the 40 range 5 years from now is what I’d predict. The SUV’s will be around 30.”
