MPG RATINGS

There are many green issues surrounding the choice of car but top of mind for many will be the cost of running the car. Fuel consumption is a consistent and obligatory cost for any driver. Obviously how you drive your car significantly affects the fuel consumption and the data for each car within this site reflects highway, city and combined average MPG based on normal driving.

Fuel economy in cars is the amount of fuel needed to propel the car over a given distance. While the fuel efficiency of petroleum engines has improved dramatically over time, this does not necessarily translate into the fuel economy of cars. This site uses the official government EPA fuel economy guide data and is published in order that car drivers can compare the mileage of different cars.

The distance travelled per unit of fuel burnt is usually referred to in terms of miles per gallon (mpg). The higher the value the better the fuel economy i.e. you can travel further for the same amount of fuel. Petrol prices continue to stay high and as natural resources become scarcer they can only rise higher. Whether you are looking for the best MPG or simply getting a clear view on what your car is going to cost, use the ratings within this site to draw comparisons.

This site aims to focus specifically on how much fuel your car will consume. This has a direct cost which obviously fluctuates based on the fuel prices in your area. Car insurance is another absolutely necessary cost of owning a car. The distances that you drive will not only impact how much you spend on fuel but also the amount you will be paying to insure your auto. Ironically the more expensive cars are also usually the biggest gas guzzlers and these will also attract a higher motor insurance quote. It is worth weighing up this multiplier effect of owning an inefficient car when working out your overall budget for your car.
