What you can do here
- Open a vehicle class to see every model of that size ranked by combined MPG, with annual fuel cost and CO2 beside it.
- Use the filter and sort controls on any table to narrow it to a make, a powertrain or a model year.
- Open a model to see all of its rated versions, a dot chart of its class, and its rating by model year.
- Type your own miles per year and fuel prices in the box on a page and every annual cost on it recalculates.
- Read a head-to-head page to see two models of the same class side by side.
Annual fuel cost in the file is based on 15,000 miles a year, 55% city and 45% highway driving, and the fuel prices that fueleconomy.gov published at the time of the release (the same prices for every model year).
