Blue Bird Emergency Response

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have just released the 2022 Fuel Economy Guide. They publish the Guide each year to help new car buyers choose the most fuel-efficient vehicle that meets their needs. This online version of the Guide will be updated regularly on FuelEconomy.gov as additional information is submitted by the auto manufacturers. New and used car buyers can also use the Find-a-Car feature to compare the fuel economy of all vehicles sold in the United States since 1984.

If you are looking for alternative fuel stations, please use the Alternative Fuel Station Locator provided by the U.S. Department of Energy.
