The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) produce the Fuel Economy Guide to help car buyers choose the most fuel-efficient vehicle that meets their needs. Each vehicle in this guide has two fuel economy estimates. "City" represents urban driving, in which a vehicle is started in the morning (after being parked all night) and driven in stop-and-go rush hour traffic. "Highway" represents a mixture of rural and interstate highway driving in a warmed-up vehicle, typical of longer trips in free-flowing traffic. These fuel economy estimates are based on laboratory testing. All vehicles are tested in the same manner to allow fair comparisons. Free online at WOWIOSunday, November 30, 2008
