There are many green issues surrounding the choice of car but top of mind for many will be the cost of running the car and therefore the cars MPG. 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 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 (or the acronym mpg). The higher the value the better the fuel economy i.e. you can travel further for the same amount of fuel. Petrol prices have risen sharply over recent months coupled with the global recession many people are comparing fuel efficiency when looking to purchase a car. 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 draw comparisons.
