All 1977 passenger .automobiles and light trucks are required to hwe gas mileage labels if they have gross vehicle weights of 6000 pounds or less. There are two types of labels. The one that will appear on most vehicles is the General Label. The fuel econcmy numbers on these labels are the same as those that appear in this "Gas Mileage Guide" and are based on an average of fuel economy test results for similar versions of a given model. Factors That Affec4 How You Drive Fuel Economy An engine that is already warmed up (such as one that was used in the last 4 hours) requires less The fuel economy numbers in this fuel to reach its most efficient operating condition result of carefully controlled tests than a "cold" engine (such as one in a car parked well-maintained test vehicles.
