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.

Represents urban

driving in light traffic. A range of
miles per gallon achieved is also
provided.

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:

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

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.

Provides an estimated annual fuel
cost, based on 15,000 miles (20,000
km) per year multiplied by the cost

per gallon (based on EPA fuel cost
data) divided by the combined fuel
economy.
