The Department of Energy (DOE) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have released the "2010 Fuel Economy Guide" which provides
information on estimated fuel costs and mileage standards for model year 2010 vehicles. Fuel efficiency is important for reducing carbon dioxide
and other greenhouse gases that contribute to global climate change.
       "Fuel economy is about both saving energy and saving money," said Energy Secretary Steven Chu. "Buying fuel efficient vehicles - like the many
hybrid technologies featured in this year's Fuel Economy Guide - helps limit carbon pollution, lessen our dependence on foreign oil, and reduce
driving costs for American families."
       Each vehicle listing in the Fuel Economy Guide provides an estimated annual fuel cost. The estimate is calculated based on the vehicle's miles
per gallon (mpg) rating and national estimates for annual mileage and fuel prices. The online version of the guide allows consumers to input their
local gasoline prices and typical driving habits to receive a personalized fuel cost estimate.
       A complete copy of the 2010 guide is available at http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/feg2000.htm.
        The guide is also available to mobile users (fueleconomy.gov/m) and is accessible from a mobile device, smart phone or PDA).
