12. Fuel Efficiency Regulation

By 2025, car manufacturers will be required to hit a 54.5 MPG or equivalent fuel efficiency target for new cars. This legislation builds on demands from past consumer experience and frustration with high prices at the gas pump for the vehicles. Design-wise, the new federal regulations will continue to play a significant impact on the overall look, feel, and character that modern cars lack when compared to classic cars. Many new cars that approach or meet the future standard lack the same noises and feel that legacy autos deliver to the driver. In some electric models, it can be difficult to tell if the car is even running except for seeing the vehicle move on the  roadway.
