For most people, the beauty of a
car extends to its mileage, their
pocket book, and the impact on
the air we all breathe. Now, when
you shop for a new car, you'll find
the information you need in a
more usable format.
A new generation of labels for a
new generation of cars.
Fueleconomy.gov provides you with:
• Personalized vehicle cost and fuel-
use estimates using your local gas
prices and individual driving habits
• Information on local upstream
greenhouse gas emissions
(related to the production of
electricity) from charging a
plug-in hybrid or electric car
• Tips for saving money and fuel
• Tax incentives for purchasing
advanced technology vehicles
• Regularly updated fuel prices
• Information on climate change,
oil dependency, and sustainability
All this information, and more, is available at
fueleconomy.gov
Striking new design
More efficient.

Information on all labels:
1 Fuel Economy:
Miles per gallon
(MPG) estimates.
2 Comparable Fuel
Economy: How the
vehicle's fuel economy
compares to other
vehicles in the same
category (e.g., among
all small SUVs).
3 Fuel Consumption:
How much fuel it
takes to travel 100
miles in combined
city and highway
driving. Unlike MPG,
consumption relates
directly to fuel used,
and thus to fuel costs.
4 Fuel Economy and
Greenhouse Gas
Rating: 1-10 rating that
compares the vehicle's
fuel economy and
tailpipe carbon dioxide
(CO2) emissions to
those of all other new
vehicles.
5 CO2 Emissions:
Tailpipe CO2
emissions (in
grams per mile) for
combined city and
highway driving,
as well as the
emissions of the
vehicle with lowest
CO2 emissions of all
available vehicles.
6 Smog rating:
A 1-10 rating based
on exhaust emissions
that contribute to air
pollution.
7 Fuel Costs: An
estimate of how
much more (or less)
the vehicle will cost
to fuel over 5 years,
as compared to the
average new vehicle.
8 Smartphone QR®
Code: A barcode that
you can scan with
your smartphone to
connect to additional
and customizable
information online.
OChargeTime: Identifies
the amount of time it
takes to charge EV and
PHEV batteries.
riving Range:
Identifies how many
miles EVs (electric
vehicles), PHEVs
(plug-in hybrid electric
vehicles), FCVs
(hydrogen fuel cell
vehicles), and CNG
(compressed natural
gas) vehicles can go
before recharging or
refueling.
© Different Modes:
Some vehicles, such
as PHEVs, may have
two or more operating
modes - such as
all-electric, blended
gas and electric, and
gasoline-only.

Economy
Equivalent: Displays
fuel economy for
advanced technology
vehicles in miles per
gallon of gasoline-
equivalent (MPGe).
A gallon of gasoline-
equivalent means the
number of kilowatt-
hours of electricity,
cubic feet of CNG,
or kilograms of
hydrogen that is equal
to the energy in a
gallon of gasoline.
©Energy Consumption:
Fuel consumption is
expressed as a unit
of energy purchased
(e.g., kilowatt-hours or
gallons) per 100 miles.
