Fuel Economy of New Vehicles Sets Record High and CO2 Emission Sets Record Low

Manufacturer-specific technology adoption over time for key technologies. EPA projects advanced transmissions (6+ speeds and CVTs), gasoline direct injection (GDI) systems, and turbocharged engines will be installed on at least 15% of all MY 2013 vehicles. Click to enlarge.
EPA’s annual report shows model year (MY) 2012 is an all time record high for car and truck average fuel economy:
  • MY 2012 fuel economy averaged 23.6 mpg, 1.2 mpg higher than MY 2011.
  • MY 2012 CO2 average emissions were 376 grams per mile, down 22 g/mile from MY 2011.
  • Preliminary MY 2013 data projects a further 0.4 mpg increase in fuel economy and 6 g/mile decrease in CO2 emissions.
