The fuel economy estimates are based on results of tests required by the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). These tests are used to certify thatvehicles meet the Federal emissions and fuel economy standards. anufacturerstest !re"!roduction !rototy!es of the ne# vehicle models and submit the test resultsto EPA. EPA re"tests about $%& of the tested vehicles to confirm manufacturer'sresults in EPA's lab. The vehicles are driven by a !rofessional driver undercontrolled laboratory conditions on an instrument similar to a treadmill. These!rocedures ensure that each vehicle is tested under identical conditions thereforethe results can be com!ared #ith confidence.

There are t#o different fuel economy estimates for each vehicle in the FuelEconomy *uide one for city driving and one for high#ay driving. To generate theset#o estimates se!arate tests are used to re!resent ty!ical everyday driving in a cityand in a rural setting. T#o +inds of engine starts are used, the cold start #hich issimilar to starting a car in the morning after it has been !ar+ed all night and the hotstart similar to restarting a vehicle after it has been #armed u! driven andsto!!ed for a short time.

The test used to determine the city fuel economy estimate simulates an $$"milesto!"and"go tri! #ith an average s!eed of -% miles !er hour (m!h). The tri! ta+es$ minutes and has - sto!s. About $/ !ercent of the time is s!ent idling as in#aiting at traffic lights or in rush hour traffic. The ma0imum s!eed is 12 m!h. Theengine is initially started after being !ar+ed overnight. 3ehicles are tested at 2/ F to

/2 F ambient tem!erature.

The test to determine the high#ay fuel economy estimate re!resents a mi0ture of4non"city4 driving. Segments corres!onding to different +inds of rural roads andinterstate high#ays are included. The test simulates a $%"mile tri! and averages 5/m!h. The ma0imum s!eed is 2% m!h. The test is run #ith the engine #armed u!and has little idling time and no sto!s (e0ce!t at the end of the test).

NOTE: To ma+e the numbers in the Fuel Economy *uide more useful for consumersthe EPA ad6usts these laboratory test results to account for the difference bet#eencontrolled laboratory conditions and actual driving on the road. The laboratory fueleconomy results are ad6usted do#n#ard to arrive at the estimates in the FuelEconomy *uide and on the labels seen on ne# cars light truc+s and vans. The cityestimate is lo#ered by $%& and the high#ay estimate by --& from the laboratorytest results.
