EPA Devises New Miles-per-Gallon Estimates
The EPA has revised its miles-per-gallon tests as well as the stickers affixed to cars with the information. Depending on the type of vehicle and the mileage being examined, the estimates are expected to drop 8–30%. The stickers themselves give a much better feel for the mileage of the car, listing both its ranking among other cars and an estimated annual fuel cost.
These new measures should give consumers much better information than we had previously. Of course, my car gets 35 mpg in the city and 42 on the highway, so I laugh at everyone…
