But with a new administration coming in that has made climate change and air pollution less of a priority — and drilling for more fossil fuels more of one — it’s unclear how sustainable this trend will be. In the US, new model cars are traveling further on less gas, the EPA reports. Real-world fuel economy improved by 1.1 miles per gallon of gasoline to a “record high” of 27.1 mpg for model year 2023 vehicles. That’s an improvement of 13.1mpg since 1975, when the EPA first began gathering fuel economy data. These gains in fuel economy do not take into account the EPA’s... Continue reading…</div>

根據一份新的環保署報告，汽車變得更加高效且污染更少，從而改善了空氣質量。2023 年車型的實際燃油經濟性達到了 27.1 英里每加侖的歷史新高，比去年增加了 1.1 英里每加侖。然而，隨着新政府將化石燃料開採置於氣候變化之上，關於這些改善的可持續性引發了擔憂

汽車的污染在減少——但這種趨勢能持續多久？
