Why Is Progressive Interested in Auto Fuel Efficiency?

This is just another gimmicky project. $10 million won't buy a design for a meaningful proposal that could be built in volume and meet all regulations together with real world customer needs. We don't even have a meaningful measure of fuel consumption in America. MPG is a geometric number and very misleading. Europe uses Liters per 100 kilometers, which is a linear measure and a true statement of use. Any improvements over 30MPG becomes increasingly costly and less effective in saving fuel. Maybe something of value will emerge from this competition but it won't come close to solving our energy problem. The problem is poitical not technical.
