Vehicle efficiency
Vehicle efficiency refers to how effectively a vehicle converts fuel or energy into movement. It is typically measured in miles per gallon (MPG) for traditional vehicles or in kilowatt-hours per 100 miles for electric vehicles. Higher efficiency means a vehicle can travel further on the same amount of fuel or energy, leading to lower operating costs and reduced environmental impact. Factors influencing vehicle efficiency include engine design, weight, aerodynamics, and driving conditions. Understanding efficiency helps consumers make informed choices about vehicles that align with their budget and sustainability goals.
