The U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency have released the 2026 Fuel Economy Guide, a comprehensive resource designed to help consumers better understand fuel efficiency across model year 2026 light-duty vehicles.
In addition to the downloadable Guide, FuelEconomy.gov offers several complementary tools and resources. These include curated lists such as the Top Ten 2026 Fuel Sippers and the 2026 Most Efficient Vehicles by EPA Size Class, which highlight vehicles with comparatively high fuel efficiency within their respective categories. Beyond fuel economy metrics, FuelEconomy.gov integrates National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) safety ratings, information on available incentives, and educational tools that explain how fuel economy is measured and reported. These features are intended to provide a more complete picture of vehicle performance and ownership considerations, all in one location.
