MAX Update No. 86: How Headlights Affect MPG

Reader Contribution by Staff

Here’s another goofy graphic, fraught with symbolism; no, MAX’s headlights don’t have a fuel tank of their own, I’m just trying to make a point.

As one approaches three-digit fuel mileage–100 mpg and above–little things start making a big difference. Things you’d never notice in a 20 mpg car are spectacular in MAX.

For example, I have a switch on the dashboard that I could label, “More than 100 mpg” in the middle position, and “Less than 100 mpg” in the top and bottom positions. Or I could just label it “Headlights.”

Up is high beam, down is low beam, center is no beam.
