A new invention to complement my engine!Littledidherealize.Narrator Little did he realize. Jevons' Paradox was at play. By making driving cheaper and more fun, he’d only fill the highways with endless gridlock.Create an engaging story about Jevons Paradox: Plot: Timmy invents a revolutionary fuel-efficient engine, and the town expects it will dramatically reduce fuel consumption. He also predicts that traffic might increase and works with the government to build more highways. Twist: As fuel becomes cheaper to use, more people buy vehicles, and overall fuel consumption skyrockets, leaving the town with more pollution than before. With more roads, people drove more, longer distances, and even chose to live farther away from work, The only constant was how long people wanted to sit in their cars, in pain.
