#FuelEconomy

Hyundai and Ford aren’t the only manufacturers that have been forced to revise their fuel-economy scores. Now BMW is joining this hall of shame.

Corporate Average Fuel Economy, CAFE for short, is a series of regulations designed to improve the efficiency of vehicles sold in the United States. Automakers will be required to average 54.5 miles per gallon by the year 2025.

The U.S. has reached an all-time high in average fuel economy with Mazda claiming the highest number among major automakers. 

Diesel. To many American drivers the “D” word is something of a mystery. It’s associated with construction equipment, tractor trailers and hillbillies “rollin’ coal” in their modified pickups, spewing more black smoke than a burning pile of used tires.

Official fuel economy ratings have been doled out for new 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat, pegging the car at 22 mpg on the highway. 

New cars leaving dealership lots last month helped push average fuel economy in the U.S. to an all-time high.

Fuel economy ratings for the upcoming GMC Canyon and Chevrolet Colorado were released today.

Despite a growing population, global fuel use is projected to decline after the year 2021. By 2035 overall consumption is expected to dip by 4 percent.

Midsize sedans are a big deal; this segment is one of the most important in the automotive industry. Corporate fortunes are won or lost on the backs of these versatile, hard-working cars.

Fuel economy is a top concern these days as automakers, suppliers and consumers alike strive to stretch every drop of petroleum as far as possible. Cylinder deactivation is a key way of bolstering the large-print numbers on a vehicle’s window sticker.

Following Ford’s announcement about reduced fuel economy ratings, the average mileage of new vehicles being purchased sank in June.

Ford is eating crow today, announcing reduced fuel economy ratings on six of its vehicles.
