The fuel economy of an automobile is the fuel efficiency relationship between the distance traveled and the amount of fuel consumed by the vehicle.

Consumption can be expressed in terms of volume of fuel to travel a distance, or the distance travelled per unit volume of fuel consumed.

Since fuel consumption of vehicles is a significant factor in air pollution, and since importation of motor fuel can be a large part of a nation's foreign trade, many countries impose requirements for fuel economy.

Different measurement cycles are used to approximate the actual performance of the vehicle.

The energy in fuel is required to overcome various losses (wind resistance, tire drag, and others) in propelling the vehicle, and in providing power to vehicle systems such as ignition or air conditioning.

Various measures can be taken to reduce losses at each of the conversions between chemical energy in fuel and kinetic energy of the vehicle.

Driver behavior can affect fuel economy; maneuvers such as sudden acceleration and heavy braking waste energy.

A car is a wheeled, self-powered motor vehicle used for transportation and a product of the automotive industry.

Most definitions of the term specify that cars are designed to run primarily on roads, to have seating for one to eight people, to typically have four wheels with tyres, and to be constructed principally for the transport of people rather than goods.

The year 1886 is regarded as the birth year of the modern car.

In that year, German inventor Karl Benz built the Benz Patent-Motorwagen.

Cars did not become widely available until the early 20th century.

One of the first cars that was accessible to the masses was the 1908 Model T, an American car manufactured by the Ford Motor Company.

Cars were rapidly adopted in the United States of America, where they replaced animal-drawn carriages and carts, but took much longer to be accepted in Western Europe and other parts of the world.

A sport utility vehicle or suburban utility vehicle (SUV) is a vehicle classified as a light truck, but operated as a family vehicle.

They are similar to a large station wagon or estate car, usually equipped with four-wheel drive for on- or off-road ability.

Some SUVs include the towing capacity of a pickup truck with the passenger-carrying space of a minivan or large sedan.

A sedan (American, Canadian, Australian, and New Zealand English) or saloon (British and Irish English) is a passenger car in a three-box configuration with A, B & C-pillars and principal volumes articulated in separate compartments for engine, passenger and cargo.

The passenger compartment features two rows of seats and adequate passenger space in the rear compartment for adult passengers.

The cargo compartment is typically in the rear, with the exception of some rear-engined models, such as the Renault Dauphine, Tatra T613, Volkswagen Type 3 and Chevrolet Corvair.

It is one of the most common car body styles.

A battery electric sedan such as the Tesla Model S has no engine compartment, but a front cargo compartment and a rear compartment for cargo or optionally for additional passengers.
