Question

An automobile manufacturer is designing a new compact model with a displacement of 2.8 liters with the objective of creating a model that will achieve at least 25 estimated highway MPG. The manufacturer must now decide if the car can be designed to use premium fuel and still achieve the objective of 25 MPG on the highway. Use the model developed in part (e) to recommend a decision to this manufacturer.

Answer 1

To recommend a decision, analyze if the car can achieve the target MPG on the highway using premium fuel.

Step-by-step explanation:

To recommend a decision to the automobile manufacturer, we need to determine if the car can achieve the objective of 25 estimated highway MPG using premium fuel. The manufacturer can use the model developed in part (e) to analyze this. If the model shows that the car can achieve at least 25 MPG on the highway using premium fuel, then the manufacturer can decide to design the car to use premium fuel. However, if the model indicates that the car cannot achieve the target MPG with premium fuel, then the manufacturer should consider using a different fuel or modifying the design to improve fuel efficiency.
