title: Car longevity text: purchasing used vehicles will improve the science of predicting car life, with such things as a life table for cars. In the United States, the Environmental Protection Agency assumes the typical car is driven 15,000 miles per year. According to the New York Times, in the 1960s and 1970s, the typical car reached its end of life around 100,000 miles, but due to manufacturing improvements such as tighter tolerances and better anti-corrosion coatings, in the 2000s the typical car lasts closer to 200,000 miles. Some car manufacturers support a "high mileage" club. For example, Volvo and Mercedes-Benz have a "High title: Car longevity text: Another was the 1963 Volkswagen Beetle belonging to Albert Klein of Pasadena, California that had accumulated 1,442,044 miles on 25 Jan 1993. AARP Magazine featured several long-running cars (over 200K miles) in its July 2009 Issue. A 2014 study on Consumer Reports by iSeeCars.com listed 10 Longest Lasting Cars over 200K miles. Sikorsky and others, have developed lists that itemize steps that a car owner can take, or identified operating and maintenance rules, to ensure maximal longevity. In a public economics sense, Kasmer argues that retrofitting autos with a newer transmission would extend the lifespan while at the same time title: Compressed air car text: crash testing. Technological advances may soon make this possible, but the AirCar has yet to prove itself, and collision safety questions remain. The key to achieving an acceptable range with an air car is reducing the power required to drive the car, so far as is practical. This pushes the design towards minimizing weight. According to a report by the U.S. Government's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, among 10 different classes of passenger vehicles, "very small cars" have the highest fatality rate per mile driven. For instance, a person driving 12,000 miles per year for 55 years would have a title: 0 to 60 mph text: United States use a "1 feet rollout", which means that the timer is only started once the car has traveled 11.5 inches, reducing the measured time by up to 0.3 second. 0 to 60 mph The time it takes to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 km/h or 0 to 27 m/s) is a commonly used performance measure for automotive acceleration in the United States and the United Kingdom. In the rest of the world, 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62.1 mph) is used. Present performance cars are capable of going from 0 to 60 mph title: 0 to 60 mph text: 0 to 60 mph The time it takes to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 km/h or 0 to 27 m/s) is a commonly used performance measure for automotive acceleration in the United States and the United Kingdom. In the rest of the world, 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62.1 mph) is used. Present performance cars are capable of going from 0 to 60 mph in under 6 seconds, while exotic cars can do 0 to 60 mph in between 3 and 4 seconds, whereas motorcycles have been able to achieve these figures with sub-500cc since
