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 a vehicle 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.

Estimated Annual Fuel Cost

Provides an estimated annual fuel
cost, based on 15,000 miles in the
U.S. or 20,000 km in Canada per year
multiplied by the cost per gallon
(based on EPA fuel cost data) divided
by the combined fuel economy.
