EPA mobile site

Posted on 19 June 2008 by


For those of you out shopping for your next new or used vehicle, you can now pull up EPA fuel economy information right on your mobile phone.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have launched a new Web site designed specifically for mobile Internet devices.

Consumers can view:
• Fuel economy ratings for all cars and light trucks sold in the U.S. back to model year 1985
• Annual fuel cost estimates
• Annual petroleum use (barrels of domestic and imported petroleum)
• Carbon footprint (tons of carbon dioxide emitted annually)

Mobile Internet access means consumers can view fuel economy data at their convenience, whenever and where ever they want.

To access the new mobile site, enter fueleconomy.gov/m in your phone’s Web browser.
