Fuel efficiency, expressed as miles per gallon, is a key consideration for vehicle owners. For the specified model year and trim, this metric indicates the distance a vehicle can travel on a single gallon of fuel under standardized testing conditions. This figure provides an estimate of potential fuel costs associated with operating the vehicle.
This performance characteristic impacts the overall cost of ownership and environmental footprint of a vehicle. Better fuel economy translates to lower fuel expenses and reduced emissions. Historically, improvements in engine technology and vehicle design have aimed to enhance this particular attribute, making vehicles more economical and environmentally conscious.
