on your television and odds are you will see at least one car
commercial within 15 minutes of viewing. In fact, odds are you will see
4 or 5 car commercials, each of which emphasizes the miles per gallon
the featured model achieves on average. Given today’s escalating
gasoline costs, this shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone.
Reducing costs at the pump is an issue for all consumers right now, and
the automotive industry is merely catering to their needs.
But with emerging technologies paving the way for the hybrid
automobiles, and then soon electric automobiles, how will American
consumers calculate mileage costs in tomorrow’s automotive
market? When a vehicle’s average miles-per-gallon rating is no
longer relevant, what will be the new way to calculate an
automobile’s cost efficiency? |

Since the industry is moving toward electric automobiles, we will soon
replace MPG ratings with CPM ratings, or cost-per-mile ratings. That is
because electricity obviously isn’t measured in terms of gallons,
but in terms of kilowatts. Thus, we can safely assume that an
automobile’s average miles per kilowatt rating will be the new
standard rating with which we determine the model’s cost
efficiency. Basically, consumers will be working with the same ratios
they are now, the ratios will simply feature alternative variables.
Cars are becoming more efficient because Americans want the most
efficient vehicles available. This will remain constant even when
calculating miles per kilowatt used an hour instead of miles per gallon.
