AbstractAverage fuel efficiency of light-duty vehicles with the
model year 1990 for all populated regions of Canada is shown here. Light-duty
vehicles include all cars and light trucks.
There are significant spatial variations throughout Canada. The areas with the
high average fuel efficiency are urban areas. Generally, fuel efficiency increases
from west to east across Canada. Because vehicles consume a substantial part
of energy in Canada, average vehicle fuel efficiency is an important indicator
for greenhouse gas emission and climate change policy making. The lower the
fuel efficiency, the higher the emission per vehicle, and, consequently, the
greater the contribution to greenhouse gases.
