| About the Fuel Consumption Guide
The annual Fuel Consumption Guide provides data
on the fuel consumption of new model year passenger cars, light-duty pickup trucks,
vans and special purpose vehicles. Consumers may use this information to compare the
fuel consumption of various makes and models and to select the most fuel-efficient
vehicle for their needs.
The Guide is published by Natural Resources Canada, using
information collected by Transport Canada. The Guide lists fuel consumption estimates
in both litres-per-100 kilometres and miles-per-gallon for most vehicles available for
the new model year. The vehicles listed in the Guide are also divided by size into
various classes of vehicles.
Fuel consumption information is only available for motor
vehicles which do not exceed the light-duty weight limit of 3 855 kg (8 500 lb.) gross
vehicle weight.
