According to a report released on Monday by the United States Congress, the U.S. ranks at the bottom of industrialized countries in the vehicle fuel-economy standards. This embarrassing ranking is anticipated to improve, however, if energy legislation to increase mileage requirements is signed into law. The debates will take place this week to increased miles American cars and trucks travel on a gallon of gas since fuel-efficiency requirements for passenger cars have been stuck at 27.5 miles per gallon since 1985. Yes, pretty ancient and discomforting figures. According to the report from the International Council on Clean Transportation the United States lags behind Canada, South Korea, Australia, China, Europe Union and Japan in vehicle fuel economy. The United States consumes about 21 million barrels of oil a day and gasoline demand alone accounts for about 45 percent of daily U.S. oil consumption.
