Fuel Economy
Each day, U.S. drivers consume millions of barrels of petroleum to fuel their more than 250 million vehicles. Improving fuel economy in U.S. automobiles and trucks can reduce petroleum use, making our country less dependent on foreign oil. It can also save drivers money at the fuel pump and limit emissions.
