Basic Information
Fuel Economy Guide: The Fuel Economy Guide is an annual publication containing the fuel economy estimates for all cars and light trucks. The guide includes much more information than appears on the window sticker label, including information about alternative fueled vehicles, the range of fuel economy for different classes of vehicles, a list of fuel economy leaders, and tips for improving fuel economy. The guide is published jointly by the Department of Energy and EPA. Every year, EPA announces the release of the fuel economy estimates and publishes lists of the models with the highest and lowest fuel economy. Below are the lists for the 2009 model year Fuel Economy Guide.
- Fuel Economy Leaders: 2009 Model Year
- Lowest Fuel Economy Models: 2009 Model Year
- Highest Fuel Economy by Vehicle Class: 2009 Model Year
- Lowest Fuel Economy by Vehicle Class: 2009 Model Year

Fuel Economy Labels: Every new car and light truck sold in the U.S. is required to have a fuel economy window sticker label. The label contains the city and highway miles-per-gallon estimates that are designed to help consumers compare and shop for vehicles.
EPA has announced new test methods to determine the fuel economy estimates (city and highway) that appear on the window stickers of all new cars and light trucks sold in the U.S., beginning with 2008 models.

Green Vehicle Guide: EPA's Green Vehicle Guide is a web site that is designed to provide consumers with fuel economy and emission information for all cars and light trucks. Consumers can use the Green Vehicle Guide to find the cleanest, most fuel-efficient vehicle that meets their needs. Each vehicle is given an air pollution score and greenhouse gas score on a scale of 0-10, with 10 being the best. Users can look up individual vehicles or types of vehicles to see how they rate.
www.fueleconomy.gov is the official site for fuel economy information, including downloadable versions of the annual Fuel Economy Guide, files of the annual underlying fuel economy data, and more. Users can look up individual vehicles for specific fuel economy information and read tips for improving gas mileage. There are links to related sites, including where to find information about possible tax credits for alternative fueled vehicles.
