Abstract | This report, published in September 2007, provides data on the fuel economy and technology characteristics of new light-duty vehicles (cars, minivans, sport utility vehicles, and pickup trucks) for model years 1975 through 2007. EPA projects average real-world fuel economy for Model Year 2007 to be 20.2 miles per gallon, the same as in 2006. There is some uncertainty, however, as the 2007 estimate is based on pre-model-year sales projections provided by automakers to EPA at a time when gasoline prices were lower than todays levels. |
