About Fuel Efficiency
In the US, fuel efficiency is measured in MPG (miles per gallon). The average new car in 2024 gets about 28 MPG. Trucks and SUVs average 18–24 MPG, while hybrids reach 40–50 MPG.
Tips to Improve Fuel Economy
- Maintain steady highway speeds (55–65 mph is optimal)
- Check tire pressure monthly (underinflated tires reduce MPG by 3%)
- Remove roof racks when not in use
- Use cruise control on long highway stretches
