The result, according to tests made by the Environmental Protection Agency: the new cars get 13.5% more m.p.g. on the average than the 1974 models. Carmakers agree that the controls now in effect have resulted in significantly cleaner engine exhausts. But they question whether any further federally mandated improvements are necessary for this decade. The cost of installing the first converters this year, they note, added between $110 and $130 to the sticker price...
