LOS ANGELES - The biggest question behind one lawmaker's new push for a 100-mpg (2.4 L/100 km) gasoline vehicle isn't about whether it can be built, technology experts say, but whether consumers will want it. Introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives by Rep. Dan Lungren of California, the Excellence in Energy Efficiency Act, otherwise known as H.R. 3872, calls for awarding $1 billion to the first U.S.-based company that develops and then sells at least 60,000 gasoline-powered midsize vehicles that reach 100 mpg. Lungren, a Republican, tells WardsAuto his bill is an alternative to the Obama Admin.'s push for more electric vehicles. That program, he says, is too costly for the average consumer, even after government rebates.
