Why is fuel economy important?

Buying a fuel efficient vehicle is important because it can:

Save you money
You can reduce fuel costs each year by choosing the most efficient vehicle that meets your needs.
Reduce greenhouse gas emissions
Carbon dioxide (CO2) from burning gasoline and diesel contributes to global climate change. You can do your part to reduce climate change by reducing your carbon footprint.
Improve energy security and reduce oil dependence costs
Our dependence on oil makes us vulnerable to oil market manipulation and price shocks.
Increase energy sustainability
Oil is a non-renewable resource, and we cannot sustain our current rate of use indefinitely. Using it wisely now allows us time to find alternative technologies and fuels that will be more sustainable.
