GM has been hit hard in recent months, partially due to its lack of
attractive, affordable compacts. But that’s not to say they don’t have
at least one! The .
With 27 mpg in the city and 34 mpg on the highway, the fuel economy is
one of the Aveo’s strengths. Plus, acceleration is also decent. By no
means does that Aveo5 offer speedy acceleration and power, but the
little car does get up and go without too much struggle. An anomaly
though is that the Aveo5 does not come with standard ABS, while much of
the competition does. That being said, the brakes still bring the car
to a halt without too much struggle and remains easy to control.

This is an announcement about 100 mpg for SUV’s.
As you know, I have been writing about the new technology Dutchman Enterprises has developed for an enormous increase of gas mileage for trucks and SUV’s. In the past they had some issues around EPA approval and they were in a pickle to grow a network of dealers because the car manufacturers didn’t want to work with them. It must have taken the recent downturn and the almost total collapse of SUV and truck sales to get a little more open minded towards technologies available right now. Dutchman Enterprises send me the latest update below today, and I feel anybody interested in ways to reduce gas mileage would want to stay up to date. I realize that adopting a new technology that hasn’t been approved by any large manufacturer is tough.
