DOE Publishes 2012 Fuel Economy Guide

2012 Fuel Economy Guide – U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)

  • “The annual fuel cost estimates in the 2008–2012 electronic fuel economy guides are updated weekly to match EIA’s current national average prices for gasoline and diesel fuel. This Guide provides annual fuel cost estimates for each vehicle. The estimates are based on the assumptions that you travel 15,000 miles per year (55% under city driving conditions and 45% under highway conditions) and that fuel costs $3.42/gallon for regular unleaded gasoline and $3.68/gallon for premium. Cost-per gallon assumptions for vehicles that use other fuel types are discussed at the beginning of those vehicle sections. The fuel costs were determined in advance to allow time for printing fuel economy labels and the Guide and may not reflect current fuel prices.”
