Have you ever wondered what the fuel economy numbers on the sticker of a new vehicle really mean?

Go Green!

Are you interested in having more information about fuel economy before you purchase your next vehicle?

There is now a new online resource on fuel economy that was developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).

The joint EPA-DOE Fuel Economy Web site, http://www.fueleconomy.gov, offers detailed information on vehicle fuel economy, including a complete downloadable version of the 2008 Fuel Economy Guide.
Other sites on fuel economy include:
-Comprehensive information about EPA's Fuel Economy program: http://www.epa.gov/fueleconomy -The Green Vehicle Guide Web site, http://www.epa.gov/greenvehicles , provides users with a guide to locate the cleanest and most fuel efficient vehicle that meets their needs. EPA has just launched a major redesign of this popular consumer-oriented web site to make it even easier to search for greener vehicles. The 2008 fuel economy leaders within each class as well as the lowest fuel economy models are also available at: http://www.epa.gov/fueleconomy/overall-high.htm
