Energy Sources

Should our cars be required to get better gasoline mileage? In a way, I agree with yes and no but I am going to go with yes! It really makes a difference if you can save more mileage by buying a less expensive car, if you think about it their are Hummers out there that get only like 7 or 8 MPG, but the Jeep Liberty or a small truck would get about 15 to 20 MPG. So, you would actually be buying a less expensive car if you wanted to save mileage, but people are only liking the way the car looks and the better looking cars are gas hogs. The gas prices have went have went up a little, and if you had a vehicle that only got 7 miles to a gallon compared to a vehicle that gets at least 18 miles to the gallon, you would have to pay more for the gas of the less miles per gallon vehicle.You are most likley paying less for the car that has more mileage and more for the gas guzzling car. If you were buying gas for the good milaged car, you would probably be able to buy gas for 1 or 2 years and that amount would probably add up to that one big, expensive, and bad mileaged car. At www.fueleconomy.gov it says if we don't choose are car carefully, we could possibly be putting the climate change into more problems. It is taking away our natural gas when we make stupid choices in buying bad mileaged cars and natural gas is nonrenewable energy. Which means once its gone, it will take millions of years for it to reaccure. If cars don't get better gas mileage we are going to run out of natural gas!! I was reading on www.naturalgas.org that it is unknown when natural gas will no longer exist, but if the gas prices keep going up and there are being more and more gas guzzling cars out their, that it won't be maybe 100 years that we will begin to notice a very very little amount of natural gas left! So, if you have a vehicle that is gas guzzling- trade it in or buy a new one because half of you people that own them are not thinking about losing the natural gas and I really don't think everyone is going to walk or ride their bikes! For those who haven't bought a car, make sure you do the earth and natural gas a favor-PLEASE buy a car that at the minimum has at least 14 MPG!
