EPA Fuel Economy Estimates/MPG Estimates
Term · Environment · MLC-T-ENV-009875
EPA estimates are based upon vehicle-specific data from tests designed to replicate real-world conditions, which can significantly affect fuel economy: high-speed/rapid acceleration driving, use of air conditioning, and cold temperature operation. Other conditions such as road grade, wind, tire pressure, and fuel property differences are also considered.
