Actual Mileage and Mileage Estimates

Regardless of what you read, what is on the sticker when you purchase the vehicle, what the EPA estimates, what the electronic display on your console is showing, or what the oil companies tell you; the only accurate figure for fuel economy and mileage is what you manually calculate every time you fill your tank. Even those figures are suspect based upon the level to which you are filling your tank and the accuracy of your odometer, but that's the best we can do without adding scientific measuring devices to the vehicle.

Typically, the mileage you actually calculate is somewhat lower than those EPA estimates stuck to the window when you first got the vehicle. Some of the factors that will effect your realized mileage are:

· Where you drive (Highway vs. Urban)

· How your drive (Constant Speed - Stop & Go)

· Driver Behavior & Driving Conditions

· Vehicle Condition & Maintenance

· Variations in Fuels

· Variations in Vehicles

· Engine Break-In

The figure below shows what the information on the EPA label means.

Starting with the 2008 model year, the EPA Mileage Rating label on new vehicles is going to change. The figure below shows what the new EPA label means. The new EPA document on Fuel Economy is also available.
