Hybrid Vehicles and Fuel Economy

www.fueleconomy.gov- Find out how your car rates on fuel economy and greenhouse gas emissions. Compare your car to others to find out how yours stacks up.

EPA's 2008 fuel economy ratings are now available! This year's fuel economy estimates are based on new test methods EPA finalized in December 2006. The new methods are designed to better account for actual driving conditions that can lower fuel economy, such as higher speed driving, driving in cold weather and using air conditioning.
