Fuel Economy Statistics

Categories: (Statistics | Energy and Environment)

Statistics on vehicle fuel economy are collected by the US Department of Energy (DOE), rather than the US DOT.

Please see "Table 2-8 Motor Vehicle Mileage, Fuel Consumption, and Fuel Rates, Selected Years, 1949-2006:" http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/aer/consump.html

The complete Annual Energy Review can be found at: http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/aer/contents.html
