Fuel Economy

Actual Mileage and EPA Fuel
Economy Estimates Comparison.
Fuel economy is not a fixed number.
It varies based on driving conditions,
driving habits, and vehicle condition.
Therefore, it is not possible for one
set of estimates to predict fuel
economy precisely for all drivers in
all environments.
The EPA fuel economy estimates
shown in the example to the right
are a useful tool for comparison
when buying a vehicle. EPA
estimates include:
City MPG Represents urban
driving in light traffic. A range of
miles per gallon achieved is also
provided.
Highway MPG Represents a
mixture of rural and interstate
driving, in a warmed-up vehicle,
typical of longer trips in free-flowing
traffic. A range of miles per gallon
achieved is also provided.

Combined Fuel Economy
Represents a combination of city and
highway driving. The scale
represents the range of combined
fuel economy for other vehicles in
the class.

cost, based on 15,000 miles (20,000
km) per year multiplied by the cost
