-------
Many of our environmental and
energy problems are closely related.
Energy conservation, in particular,
contributes both to  the improve-
ment of environmental quality  and
the achievement of  energy
independence. It is appropriate,
therefore, that tliis "miles-per-
gallon" booklet is made available
through the joint effort of the
United States Environmental
Protection Agency and the Federal
Energy A dministration.
EPA's primary reason for
conducting auto tests, of course, is
to make sure that the pollutants put
into our air by automotive exhausts
do not exceed Federal standards.
In this testing program, EPA also
determines the miles per gallon
performance  of new car and
light-duty truck models. By using
the information in this booklet, you
can help conserve energy by buying
the most  fuel-efficient vehicle  that
meets your needs.
      Russell E. Train
      Administrator

-------
Your concern about /icnv you can
personally conserve energy has
prompted the Federal Energy
Administration to provide this
booklet comparing 1976 car anil truck
fuel economv. \\'e also suggest YOU
review the iniles-per-gallon label
posted on most 1976 vehicles.

By purchasing a more fuel-efficient
car, not only can you save ntanv
gallons of gasoline over the lifetime of
that car, but hundreds of dollars as
well. If you multiply your savings  by
the number of new cars bought every
year, your individual purchase
becomes an important pan of the
\ational effort to solve this country's
energy problems.

Buying an efficient car is only the first
step toward making energy
conservation a habit in your daily life.
How you operate  that car—avoiding
wasteful driving practices,
carpooling, and maintaining your car
according to the manufacturer's
instructions—can  add to your dollar
and gasoline savings.

Please,  do vour share to help the
country save energy and improve the
environment.

-------
 In the "good old days" people shopping for a new car
 used to go to auto showrooms with an eye on body
 styling and color. Today style and color have taken the
 backseat: gasoline mileage has become a much more
 important consideration. This guide has been
 prepared by the U.S. Environmental Protection
 Agency and the Federal Energy Administration to
 help you make a miles-per-gallon comparison of the
 new cars and light trucks certified as of September 15,
 1975 for sale in California.

   HOWEVER, A WORD OF CAUTION IS
 REQUIRED.  YOU   SHOULD  NOT   EXPECT
 TO  GET THE EXACT MILEAGE  LISTED
 IN  THE TABLES. HERE IS WHY:

   EPA auto  tests are conducted in  a  laboratory
 under strictly controlled conditions in order to
 obtain scientifically valid measurements. This kind
 of testing provides the most meaningful gas
 mileage comparison because each car is tested in
 exactly the same way. While this  booklet tells you
 how the gas mileage of the car you may be
 thinking of buying compares  with all of the other
 models you have to choose from,  the exact mileage
 number given  in the  tables should be regarded
 only as  an estimate of the mileage you can expect
 from your new car.
   The driving patterns used in the EPA tests
 represent average city and highway driving. Since
 they are averages, these test cycles may  include
 more or less stops and starts,  different speeds, or
 other differences which would make  the fuel
 economy performance of your car differ from the
 estimates published in this guide.
   The cars tested were equipped  with the options
 the  manufacturer estimated would be  most
 frequently purchased. For example, if a
 manufacturer projects that more than a  third of
 the purchasers of a given car line are  likely to buy
 air conditioning, the cars  tested will be  equipped
 with air conditioning.  Because there are so many
 different  possibilities  for different manufacturers
 and car lines, it is impossible  to indicate in the
 guide which of the combinations  of options were
 involved  for each individual  listing.
   Your fuel economy may also vary because of
 your driving habits, optional equipment, weather,
-road surface and how well your car is maintained.

-------
   Finally, most of the figures in the tables
 represent averages  of several tests. Naturally, the
 performance of a particular car may differ from
 the average.

 Factors Influencing Gasoline  Consumption

 • Vehicle weight and engine size are the most
 important items affecting overall fuel consumption.
 Generally speaking, in city driving, a 5,000 pound
 car will require twice as much gasoline to run as
 a 2,500 pound car.  Optional equipment not only
 adds weight to the  car but also requires power
 from the engine and thus requires fuel to
 operate. For example, using an  air conditioner can
 reduce gas mileage  by more than 10 percent in
 city driving.
 • An automatic transmission usually reduces gas
 mileage as compared with  a manual transmission.
 • Rapid acceleration can reduce fuel economy by
 15 percent over moderate  acceleration.
 • The best fuel economy occurs at speeds
 between 30 and 40 miles per hour with no stops
 and no  rapid speed changes.
 • Using radial tires, instead of  conventional or
 bias-ply tires, can result in a 3  percent
 improvement in gas mileage. Improper front-end
 alignment  and  tires inflated below  the
 recommended pressure  will reduce  gas  mileage.
 • An idling engine burns about a half-pint of gas
 every six  minutes,  so don't idle your engine
 needlessly.
 • A tuned car will average 6 percent better
 mileage than an untuned one. And a properly
maintained car  also helps  reduce air pollution.
 • Unnecessary braking,  excessive driving in low
 gears, dragging brakes and  short trips all reduce
 fuel economy.

Reading the Tables

 The tables are separated into one grouping for cars
 and another for trucks.  Individual car lines  are
 listed alphabetically. If a particular car line comes
 with different engine sizes  (in  cubic inch
 displacement) or a choice  of automatic (A) or
 manual (M) transmission,  there is a listing for
 each variation.

-------
  Three  miles-per-gallon figures are given for
each car line tested: city; highway; and
city/highway (a combined mileage figure  based
on Federal Highway Administration data on
average driving characteristics).
  Fuel economy estimates, are rounded to the
nearest whole mile per gallon.
  Most auto  manufacturers use a catalyst on >ome or
all of their 1976 cars and light trucks to control air
pollution. In  a few instances, the manufacturers
require that the catalyst  he replaced at a specified
mileage in order to maintain the validity of the
vehicle's  50.00(1 mile 5-year emission control system
warranty. In  the tables there is a column for catalyst
usage. The information in this column will tell you
whether or not there is a  catalyst on the \ehicle. If the
manufacturer requires catalyst  replacement, that is
indicated  by an asterisk,  with a note at the bottom of
the page giving the mileage at which catalyst
replacement is required.

Some Other  Information

   Many  cars  are specially designed for sale  in
California, which has  tougher auto exhaust
standards, and are different from  vehicles sold
elsewhere in the United States.  Miles-per-gallon
ratings  for vehicles available  for sale in the
other States are listed in a separate  booklet
entitled "1976 Gas Mileage Guide for  New Car
Buyers,"  and may be obtained by writing Fuel
Economy, Pueblo, Colorado  81009.
   For additional copies of the EPA/FEA "1976
California Gas Mileage Guide for New Car
Buyers," write:  Fuel Economy, Pueblo,
Colorado 81009. For bulk  copies, write: Fuel
Economy, Federal  Energy  Administration,
Washington,  D. C. 2046L
  Vehicles built by manufacturers participating in
the "Voluntary Fuel Economy Labeling Program"
will have a label on a side window indicating fuel
economy for that vehicle. In some cases, the gas
mileage shown on the label will not be the same as
that listed in  this booklet. This is because the
manufacturer chose to put more  detailed
information about that  specific vehicle on the
label, instead of presenting average results for  the
line of cars. Such figures are more precise  for that
particular vehicle than those listed in this guide.

   The Fuel Economy Test

   The gas mileage tests were conducted by EPA in
   its Ann Arbor, Michigan,  laboratories.  The
   test vehicles  were prototypes  driven  by
   professional drivers on a machine called a
   dynamometer. On the dynamometer each car can
   be tested in exactly the same way, making the
   results more scientifically comparable than are the
   results of road tests.
     Two tests were run on each car. The "city
   driving" test represents commuter driving. It
   includes stopping, starting and  operating the
   vehicle at speeds averaging 20 miles per hour over
   a 7.5-mile test. The "highway driving" test
   includes rural and interstate driving at an average
   speed  of 48 miles per hour over a 10-mile test. In
   each case the test  includes accelerations and
   decelerations typical of that type of driving. The
   combined city/highway mileage figures were
   calculated based on Federal Highway
   Administration statistics  that indicate that the
   average vehicle is driven  55 percent of  the time
   under  city driving conditions and 45 percent of
   the time under highway driving conditions.
   The calculations were done using a  harmonic
   mean,  and  all final results were  then  rounded
   to the nearest whole mile.
     By comparing the three figures for the cars you
   may be thinking about buying, you can make a
   more informed decision about selecting a car
   which  will meet your driving needs.
