Good to Know
Fuel economy is a major driver of total ownership cost — not just the price at the pump.
Small MPG differences compound: a few miles per gallon can mean thousands saved over years.
Driving habits matter — smooth acceleration, steady speeds, and less idling cut fuel use noticeably.
Maintenance affects efficiency: proper tire pressure, clean filters, and tune-ups keep MPG high.
Fuel cost is only part of the ownership picture.
A vehicle with hidden damage, poor maintenance, or inaccurate mileage can cost much more over time.
