Fuel economy in automobiles

Fuel economy is how much fuel your car uses to travel a certain distance. It's measured by how many miles your car can travel with one gallon of gas or other fuel. For example, if your car can travel 20 miles with one gallon of fuel, it has a fuel economy of 20 miles per gallon. Increasing the fuel economy of your car can help you save money on fuel and reduce air pollution from your car.
