Fuel Economy

Fuel economy refers to the efficiency of a vehicle in converting fuel into distance traveled, typically measured in miles per gallon (MPG) or liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km). It represents how far a vehicle can travel on a given amount of fuel, with higher fuel economy indicating better efficiency. Fuel economy is an important factor for consumers as it impacts both fuel costs and environmental considerations, as more efficient vehicles tend to produce fewer emissions per mile traveled. Various factors influence fuel economy, including engine size, vehicle weight, aerodynamics, and driving behavior. Improved fuel economy can lead to significant savings over time and is a central consideration in the design and regulation of vehicles, encouraging the development of more efficient technologies and alternative energy sources.
