"  Earlier today, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reported that vehicles sold in the United States have made significant improvements in fuel economy and reduction of carbon emissions in the past year. If you&amp;#039;re purchasing a new car, it&amp;#039;s good news for your pocketbook and perhaps more importantly, for the environment. According to Gina McCarthy, Assistant Administrator for EPA&amp;#039;s Office of Air and Radiation, &amp;quot;Today&amp;#039;s report shows that we are making strides toward saving families money at the pump, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and cleaning up the air we breathe.&amp;quot; Key findings of the EPA report:  16% increase in gas mileage between 2007 and 2012.  1.4 mpg improvement for new vehicles sold, from 22.5 to 23.8mpg. Carbon dioxide emissions of new vehicles been reduced by 13%.  There are still more improvements to be made. The National Clean Car Program is expected to continue to make significant fuel economy improvements by 2025.  It&amp;#039;s predicted that the program will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and double fuel economy standards. American families will save $1.7 trillion dollars on gas and over $8,000 per vehicle. 12 billion barrels of oil will be saved and oil consumption will be reduced by 2 million barrels each day.
