WASHINGTON (May 21, 2015) — Overall 2015 results for corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) show improvement, but individual auto makers show significant variation in CAFE performance, according to a new report from the Consumer Federation of America (CFA).
Between 2014 and 2015, the percentage of vehicles with an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) fuel economy rating of at least 23 mpg rose to 52 percent from 50.5, the CFA said.
Also, the percentage of gas-guzzlers (16 mpg or less) on U.S. roads declined to 6.1 percent from 8.5 during the period, according to the consumer organization.
