Advantages of Plastics 
Weight Reduction 
& Fuel Savings 
The question: 
What happens when heavy automotive com-ponents 
are replaced with lighter automotive 
components made out of plastic? 
The facts: 
Over the life of the vechicle, these lighter 
plastic components will result in 650 gallons of 
fuel savings. 
The results: 
This means that over the life of the 253 million cars currently 
on the road in the United States, 164,450,000,000 gallons 
of gasoline will have been saved because of plastics. 
The big picture: 
This amount of gasoline can meet the entire motor 
fuel needs of each region for the following amount 
of time (if demand stays the same): 
North America: 1.36 years 
Central America: 
60.6 years 
South America: 14.1 years 
Europe: 4.38 years 
= 31.5 
U.S. 
Gallons 
Asia: 2.63 years 
Africa: 19.4 years 
Oceania: 17.3 years 
The advancement of plastics allows technology to be pushed to it’s limits and create a 
more sustainable future.
