November 2023
SUBJECT: DOE/EPA 2024 Model Year Fuel Economy Guide Dear Reference Librarian: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) seek your help in providing consumers with information about fuel economy and the benfits of using more fuel-efficient vehicles. Fuel economy is an important factor for car buyers. Each year, DOE and EPA publish the Fuel Economy Guide to help consumers make informed decisions when purchasing a vehicle. The Guide features information on fuel economy, annual fuel cost, and emissions for new model year cars, sport utility vehicles, and light trucks. We would very much appreciate your displaying the 2023 Fuel Economy Guide prominently in your library with other automotive reference materials. You can obtain a printable, electronicversion of the 2024 Fuel Economy Guide at https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/printGuides.shtml. The electronic file is periodically updated with new vehicle and fuel price information. If you would like us to e-mail you an electronic version of the Fuel Economy Guide each year, please visit https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/guides.shtml to join our e-mail list. DOE and EPA have also developed the fuel economy website, www.fueleconomy.gov. The website features updated fuel economy date for new and used passenger vehicles dating back to 1984, allows side-by-side vehicle comparisons, and offers fuel-saving tips. The website also contains vehicle-specific air pollution emissions information and safety ratings and provides links to car buying websites. We believe the website can help your members make informed automative purchase decisions. We encourage you to link your library website to www.fueleconomy.gov. Thank you for your help encouraging fuel economy awareness. By working together, we can help consumers save money, reduce our nation's dependence on imported oil, and promote cleaner air in our communities. Please call 1-800-254-6735 if you have any questions concerning this letter. Sincerely, Byron J. Bunker, Director Compliance Division Office of Transportation and Air Quality U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Austin Brown, Director Vehicle Technologies Office Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy U.S. Department of Energy |
