In June, I blogged about Fuqua professors Rick Larrick and Jack Soll and their push to improve fuel efficiency and consumer behavior by simply changing the measurement from MPG to GPM. Today, Duke Research Advantage blogged that this work was featured in the New York Times Magazine’s “Year in Ideas” issue. They’ve also launched a new GPM calculator to find your current GPM, compare cars, or see the GPM for all 2009 cars. More information about this research, including an interactive fuel-efficiency quiz and a video of Larrick and Soll discussing their work is available at mpgillusion.com.
