Is the average MPG the same as the EPA rating?

There are so many variables that the idea of an absolutely accurate rating of average mpg is laughable. But to new-car buyers, it often feels as if the joke is on them. A key element in assessing the EPA rating for a vehicle’s average fuel economy (EPA combined) is the split between highway and city driving.

How does the EPA test for fuel economy?

EPA tests vehicles by running them through a series of driving routines, also called cycles or schedules, that specify vehicle speed for each point in time during the laboratory tests. For 2007 and earlier model year vehicles, only the city and highway schedules were used.

How are MPG ratings determined by the EPA?

The government decided that mpg (miles per gallon) claims needed to be monitored, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) began confirming the mpg estimates of automakers. Three mpg categories are rated by the EPA under three driving conditions: city, highway and combined.

When did the EPA start measuring gas mileage?

For manual-transmission cars, there are standard EPA shift points, which are broadcast on the driver’s screen as well. In 1972, when regular gas was 35 cents a gallon, test cycles were invented by the newly created EPA to measure exhaust emissions.
