KEY: CAFE = Corporate Average Fuel Economy; GVWR = gross vehicle weight rating; U = data are unavailable.
NOTES: New vehicle fuel efficiency and CAFE standards assume 55% city and 45% highway-miles. The fuel efficiency figures for light duty vehicles represent the sales-weighted harmonic average of the combined passenger car and light truck fuel economies.
