New fuel economy estimates include higher speeds and acceleration, AC use, and cold temperature operation
With Your MPG you can view fuel economy estimates from other users or share your MPG
Use the new fuel economy estimates to compare to 2008 and later model year vehicles.
Fuel economy ratings for 1985-2007 model year vehicles have been revised for easy comparison with 2008 and later models. Click for more info.
Fill-up cost and the distance you can travel on a tank are based on the combined fuel economy and the assumption that you will re-fuel when your tank is 10% full. Click to learn more about how we calculate fuel costs.
The energy impact score shows the number of barrels of petroleum used by the vehicle each year. Click for more info.
Carbon footprint measures a vehicle’s impact on climate change in tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted annually. The scale under each rating shows how the vehicle’s CO2 emissions compare to other vehicles. Click to learn more.
The Air Pollution score and Carbon Footprint measure different types of vehicle emissions. Air pollutants harm human health and/or cause smog. Carbon Footprint measures greenhouse gas emissions (primarily CO2) that impact climate change.
The EPA air pollution score rates cars and light trucks based on how much smog-forming air pollution they emit. Greenhouse gas emissions which may contribute to climate change are not included. Click for more info.

How are fuel cost estimates and miles on a tank determined?
Fuel cost estimates are based on 45% highway driving, 55% city driving, 15000 annual miles and a fuel cost of $ 2.66 per gallon . You may customize these values to reflect the cost of fuel in your area and your own driving patterns.

Fill-up cost and the distance you can travel on a tank are calculated based on the combined MPG and the assumption that you will re-fuel when your tank is 10% full.

What's the difference between air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions?
The Air Pollution score and Carbon Footprint measure different types of vehicle emissions. Air pollutants harm human health and/or cause smog. Carbon Footprint measures greenhouse gas emissions (primarily CO2) that impact climate change.

Why do some vehicles have more than one air pollution score?
Some vehicles are available in multiple emission versions that look the same but have different air pollution scores. Unfortunately, it is difficult to distinguish between similar models.

If you click on the link "Show Detailed Air Pollution Information" above, it will display the emission standard and the 12-digit underhood engine ID. You can identify the cleaner car by matching the engine ID listed above to the Underhood Label Identification Number on the vehicle.

Note: In some cases, manufacturers choose to certify identical vehicles to different emission standards. In these cases, the vehicles will have the same engine ID.

The carbon footprint measures greenhouse gas emissions expressed in CO2 equivalents. The estimates presented here are "full fuel-cycle estimates" and include the three major greenhouse gases emitted by motor vehicles: carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane. Full fuel-cycle estimates consider all steps in the use of a fuel, from production and refining to distribution and final use. Vehicle manufacture is excluded.
