This report, published in September 2008, provides data on the fuel economy and technology characteristics of new light-duty vehicles (cars, minivans, sport utility vehicles, and pickup trucks) for model years 1975 through 2008. EPA projects average real-world fuel economy for Model Year 2008 to be 20.8 miles per gallon. There is some uncertainty, however, as the 2008 estimate is based on pre-model-year sales projections provided by automakers to EPA at a time when gasoline prices were lower than today’s levels.
