EPA mileage ratings

EPA mileage ratings are standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency to measure vehicle fuel efficiency in miles per gallon (MPG). These ratings indicate how far a car can travel on a gallon of fuel, helping consumers compare the efficiency of different vehicles. Ratings include city driving (stop-and-go traffic) and highway driving (steady speeds), reflecting real-world conditions. A higher MPG generally means better fuel economy, leading to lower fuel costs and reduced environmental impact. Understanding these ratings can aid in making informed decisions when purchasing a vehicle.
