A government report says fuel economy for 2021 model year vehicles in the U.S. stayed flat with 2020 as people continued to buy less-efficient trucks and SUVs.
Fuel economy for 2021 model year vehicles in the U.S. remained flat compared to 2020, as people continued to buy less-efficient trucks and SUVs, according to an annual government report published Monday.
The EPA said in a statement that all vehicle types are at record low carbon dioxide emissions, but"the market shift away from cars and toward sport utility vehicles and pickups has offset some of the fleetwide benefits." Stellantis, the former Fiat Chrysler, had the lowest fuel economy and the highest emissions of all manufacturers at 21.3 mpg and 417 grams per mile of carbon dioxide. Tesla, which makes only electric vehicles, had the highest mileage equivalent at 121.5 mpg , and zero carbon dioxide emissions.
