Information Printed on the EnerGuide Label

The EnerGuide label for a new vehicle should contain the same fuel consumption information that appears in the Fuel Consumption Guide and on the Natural Resources Canada website for that model year. However, if the fuel consumption values for a vehicle are changed during the model year, the updated information appears only on the label and on the Natural Resources Canada website.

The EnerGuide label has a standardized design and may be affixed to the vehicle alone or may appear as a part of the vehicle options and price label. The following information appears on the vehicle label:

  • The city fuel consumption in litres-per-100 kilometres and in miles-per-gallon.
  • The highway fuel consumption in litres-per-100 kilometres and in miles-per-gallon.
  • The estimated annual fuel cost, based on an annual distance travelled of 20 000 km, with 55 percent city and 45 percent highway driving and a basic fuel price in cents-per-litre. The fuel prices for regular gasoline, premium gasoline and diesel fuel are established each year by Natural Resources Canada.
  • Statements describing sources of data, testing methods and how to obtain a copy of the Fuel Consumption Guide.
