When the EPA estimates a car’s fuel economy, how do they drive the car? Do they accelerate slow to get stay in the lower RPMs, and ultimately save more gas, or do they accelerate normally, or even accelerate hard.
When testing highway miles, I’ve heard a cars fuel economy decreases 10% for every 5 miles over 60. Does the EPA test highway MPG at 60mph? 65mph is standard for most states, Michigan, I know, the highway is 70mph. Naturally the mpg is decieving for states where the highway is 70mph, unless the EPA test for the limits of all states?
When on the highway, does the EPA test fuel economy while the car is on cruise control for maxium fuel economy? or do they drive without it?
