Fueleconomy.gov Mobile Site Puts New Fuel Economy Information at Your Fingertips

The first model year 2013 cars are appearing in dealer showrooms with the newly designed Fuel Economy and Environment labels, and FuelEconomy has just enhanced its mobile site You can also access the vehicle's information by going to FuelEconomy Mobile and searching for the vehicle in the Find a Car feature.

Fuel Economy Mobile offers some advantages over the printed fuel economy label. Most importantly, it lets you personalize the fuel economy, fuel cost, and environmental estimates based on the number of miles you drive each year, the percentage of miles you drive in stop-and-go vs. highway traffic, how much you pay for fuel, where you live, and how you want your fuel economy reported (e.g., miles per gallon vs. gallons per 100 miles). It also lets you view the reported on-the-road fuel economy other drivers are getting with the same vehicle.

The "New Window Sticker" section (FuelEconomy Label) explains the information on the new EPA/DOT label and provides samples of the new labels for gasoline vehicles, plug-in hybrids, and electric vehicles-different vehicle types have different labels. This section also provides information about using the label's Smartphone QR CodeTM.
