The Environmental Protection Agency rates the gas mileage of every vehicle on the streets of North Wales, and their ratings are nearly accurate, but there’s room for variation. If you’re suspicious of your model’s EPA rating, follow our gas mileage calculator method to get a more accurate reading of your MPG. If you’re surprised by how much your gas mileage has fallen, your vehicle may be having trouble, in which case we recommend that you schedule a service appointment at North Penn Mazda in Colmar.

“Good” gas mileage is relative to the type of vehicle you’re driving and what kind of driving you’re doing. An exceptionally efficient truck can’t offer the gas mileage of an average sedan, and if you’re doing most of your driving in the dense urban traffic of Lansdale, you’ll rarely experience the full efficiency of your vehicle. The best metric for analyzing its efficiency is to compare it to others in its segment.
Furthermore, if you do most of your driving on the highway, emphasize highway fuel economy in your comparison — city drivers should take particular note of city fuel economy. That said, take those ratings with a grain of salt — remember when we told you that MPG ratings were nearly accurate? If you’re curious about the true efficiency of your vehicle, it’s also important to know about how to calculate gas mileage, yourself.
To get a good sense of what your vehicle’s real gas mileage is, follow these steps:
