Gas Mileage

The Mercedes-Benz GLB isn't an EV, but with the B-Class Electric in mind we couldn't help but wonder: "What if?"

At least five automakers have negotiated deals with the California Air Resources Board to adhere to stricter emissions standards.

A rare investigation from the EPA's federal watchdog will be conducted over the administration's hasty rulemaking that contradicted its own earlier findings.

The lowest-priced, most fuel-efficient models from Toyota and Honda—two brands that built their reputation on small cars—have been dropped.

The RAV4 Prime offers more electric range than the Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid and Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-In Hybrid.

The EPA might give automakers another big break on fuel economy and emissions—in addition to the one they just received in CAFE requirements.

Real driving emissions ratings should be the start of any incentive program aimed at spurring sales, amid a pandemic with connections to air quality.

Car buyers see mileage as an important piece of vehicle selection—with or without the low gas prices.

GM owners could be less likely to buy another product from the automaker because of its position to squash California's emissions rights.

The EPA has released a final rule that will ease the fleet fuel economy requirements and allow higher amounts of CO2 from vehicles.

With Honda's two-motor hybrid system, the 2021 Insight hits a high in city driving and is shaping up to be the highest mileage sedan without a charge port.

Although Fiat Chrysler sold a higher rate of hybrid vehicles than any other automaker, it came up last in fleet fuel economy. How'd that happen?

If you can't (or don't want to) plug in, the 2020 Highlander Hybrid is the most fuel-efficient way to carry up to eight people.

Instead of doing away with some of the current incentives for hybrids and PHEVs, it might just limit the annual hike to 1.5% through 2026.

The push for higher-mileage new cars isn't as controversial as the federal government might be making it sound.

About 98,000 VW, Audi, Bentley, and Porsche vehicles allegedly game federal emissions tests used for fuel economy calculations.

Automakers (17 of them) wrote a letter to President Trump asking for California to be included in his single national standard for revamping fuel economy rules.

With electric pickup trucks from Ford, GM, and others—including newcomers like Rivian—looking likely to arrive in the next few years, the truck field could be on the verge of a clean, quiet, tailpipe-emissions-free shakeup. That said, you wouldn’t know this segment as being poised...
