Fuel Cost Also, the estimates on a Specific Label may not fall into the range of fuel economy This value is an estimate of what you would pay estimates listed for its class. This is for fuel in 1 year if you drive 15,000 miles and pay because a specific model may be rnore 65 cents per gallon for gasoline (or 55 cents per fuel efficient than the average gallon for diesel fuel). Check the Fuel Cost Chart for the model type- for additional information on yearly fuel costs at different prices per gallon. Fuel Costs, ln Dollars, Per 10,000 Miles Example: lf you pay an average of 60 cents per gallon lndex and your car gets 12 MPG, your fuel cost for 10,000 miles of driving is $500. lf you drive 20,000 miles a lf you don't know which class a vehicle is in, turn year, your annual fuel cost will be twice this figure, or to the index where manufacturers and car lines $1,000. lf you own a car that gets 20 MPG, your are listed alphabetically. After each model name, annual fuel cost for 10,000 miles at 60 cents per the appropriate size class is given. By locating gallon is $300. that size class and the manufacturer, you will be able to find the specific model. The index is located on pages 28-32.

Fuel Economy Labels

All 1977 passenger automobiles and light trucks are required to hp.ve 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 economy 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.

4 Factors That Affect 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 Guide are the fuel to reach its most efficient operating condition result of carefully controlled tests performed on than a "cold" engine (such as one in a car parked well-maintained test vehicles. Any differences overnight). Trip length also affects fuel economy. between the test conditions and the condition of Shorter trips (under 5 miles) do not allow the your vehicle, your driving habits, and the road and engine to reach its best operating condition, you traffic conditions under which have to drive whereas longer trips allow the peak operating probably will result in a different fuel economy temperature and engine condition to be obtained. your from that listed for car. This does not mean that you can save fuel by Temperature increasing the length of your short trips. lt does mean that by combining numerous short trips into Summer iemperatures (over 70'F.) are better for a single, longer trip you can save fuel by reducing fuel economy than winter temperatures.
