Did GM cancel a car that gets 100 Miles Per Gallon ?

Watch the most recent episode of "The why files" he explains all of this stuff. They've had alot of this technology for a long time.

I think … if they had it, and it worked properly, they would have come out with it. A lot of videos on the internet are just there to make money for themselves and push baseless conspiracy theories. What’s the link to it? Ill watch it with an open mind.

If they were buying patents, there would be records of the patents.

[@MJ100k]

True. Also, It’s hard to believe that no one else came up with this idea… If it exist.. more than one person must have known how it works… That kind of info is worth $$… Someone would have shared the secret with another OEM and gotten PAID lol

You need to look at the late 80s Honda CRX HF .... many reports of folks getting 60+ MPG on the highway. Back in the day, my 1985 Honda CRX HF would consistenly get mid-50s. Traded it to a 1991 Honda CRX that had air conditioning, mileage dropped to right at 50 mpg. So we move 40 years into the future and to get 50 mpg, we have to have a hybrid. Hmmm?

I like Honda vehicles and I remember those CRXs from the 80s. They got high gas mileage because they are EXTREMELY LIGHT vehicles. The 1985 CRX was 1800 pounds ! According to cnn originally the highway mpg was rated at 57 highways miles…. But then that was revised to 51 highway miles in 2008 using the newest rating procedure. money.cnn.com/galleries/2010/autos/1006/gallery.top_mpg_since_1984/5.html The 2024 Prius hybrid gets 57 City and 56 highway mpg….. approx 3200 pounds That’s almost twice as much weight lol It weighs more and it’s much safer in a crash. The frames of newer cars weigh more and are able to absorb the impact of a crash much better. Also the batteries in an hybrid add weight. That CRX from the 80s is super light, no airbags no crumble zones to absorb the impact of a crash… if you got in an accident … it over 🤣🪦

No

[@weeman402.lincolnnebraska2]

they was killed from the the gov

[@MJ100k]

If high mpg cars were killed by the government in the 70s…. Why wouldn’t the government in 2024 bring them back 🧐? They seem to want cars with high mpg nowadays 🤣

[@Patrick-is4ym]

The government inadvertently kills vehicles that would get better mileage all the time. In the name of environmentalism! What happened to mini trucks? Oh yea, the EPA, lol. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6usZKGnp614jq8si=73P4if_ZId-8g4ZI
