With General Motors being the talk of the nation recently, one has to wonder how the new efficiency standards set forth by the federal government is going to affect GM sales. Here are some benefits and disadvantages you – the consumer – may experience with the new legislation.
• Pro - More efficient vehicles sooner
One of the main benefits of the new standards means more efficient cars on the roads. This is good for the environment and it will save consumers money at the pumps.
• Con – A tighter schedule means more cost
Since automakers will need to meet the new standards four years earlier than the previous plan, they will need to spend more to comply with the new schedule.
• Pro – Less dependency on foreign oil
The new standards will be equivalent to taking more than 175 million cars off the road. Just imagine how much cleaner the air will be when that happens!
• Pro – More exciting products for sale
Can you imagine driving a Tahoe or Suburban that gets more than 30 miles to the gallon? When the automakers comply with the new standards, you may just be able to find fuel-efficient versions of these SUVs at your Pennsylvania GMC dealer.
