The Environment Protection Agency is an agency that has been created by the Government of United States. This Agency has been entrusted with the challenges of conservation of the natural resources and deal with environmental issues dealing with preservation of land, air and water along with the protection of the human health. The EPA was launched on 2nd December of 1970 and was inaugurated by the tenth President of the United States, Richard Nixon.
The aim of starting the EPA was to repair the damages that have been caused by various human-factors prior to its establishment to the environmental resources as well as to the complex eco-systems. The EPA was given a task of educating and of establishing a newer criteria and guidelines for guiding the Americans in the formation of a well-balanced and pollution-free world.
EPA Gas Mileage:
With its formation in the late 1970, the EPA immediately set new rules and guidelines for the people for the conservation of the natural fuels and resources. It also set a new setup for the research and development of new methods and equipments and parts for the improvement of the gas mileage of cars and to bring about the effective conservation of natural oil and other natural resources. The EPA managed to set up specific rules and regulations for the auto manufacturers so that the cars they manufacture would be able to give better gas mileages. Even the manufacturers had started implementing and developing new technologies for the manufacturing of hybrid cars that would greatly increase the fuel efficiency of cars.
The following are the basic guidelines that were setup by the EPA for the conservation of natural oil and the effectively increasing the gas mileage. Today the face of the EPA has changed greatly. The EPA today has plans to throw out the old-fashioned procedures for the testing to determine the type of gas mileage the automobile owners can expect from their vehicles. The system will be replaced by new system that promises to be more efficient and bring about the revolution in the automotive technology and the way of the motorists driving.
The EPA has also provided the common people with a few guidelines so that they can check their own vehicles for mileage enhancements. The following are the guidelines that people should use for the checking the performance of their vehicle:
* To take the official estimates for the mileage with a grain of salt.
* To research the performance of the separate vehicles with the help of some resources like the consumer reports and so on.
* To join the chat rooms online that are dedicated to the people that own the same model of car that you own or you are trying to buy.
* To discuss with mechanics and experienced people in the car business about the outlooks and expectations of your car.
The EPA has also published reports that propagate the need for the conservation of fuels and the reports that state the average mileage of the vehicles that run on the streets.
