Fuel Economy Facts

Combined MPG Is What Matters Most

The EPA combined rating reflects a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving. This single number is the best way to compare vehicles if you have a typical commute with a mix of both driving conditions.

Hybrids Outperform in City Driving

Hybrid vehicles often achieve better fuel economy in city driving than on the highway, thanks to regenerative braking and electric-only low-speed operation. The Toyota Prius gets 57 MPG in the city versus 56 MPG on the highway.

EV Efficiency Varies Dramatically by Model

While all EVs skip the gas pump, their efficiency ranges widely. The Hyundai IONIQ 6 achieves 140 MPGe while larger EVs like the GMC Sierra EV manage just 92 MPGe -- a 52% difference in energy consumption for the same distance.

Trucks Have Improved Dramatically

The Ford Maverick Hybrid at 37 MPG combined would have been unthinkable for a truck a decade ago. Hybrid powertrains and aerodynamic designs are closing the gap between trucks and traditional sedans in fuel efficiency.

Compare Insurance on Efficient Cars

Fuel-efficient vehicles often qualify for lower insurance premiums. Compare quotes and see how much you could save by driving a hybrid or EV.
