The EPA says U.S. vehicle fuel economy hit a record high in 2022, the largest annual improvement in nine years. Tesla, Toyota and Honda sold vehicle emission credits in 2022, while Stellantis, General Motors and Mercedes-Benz bought credits.
In a report released on Dec. 21, 2022, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) noted that the fuel economy of U.S. vehicles hit a record high in 2022, achieving the largest annual improvement in nine years. The average mileage reached 26 miles per gallon, an increase of 0.6 miles per gallon from 2021.
The main driver of this achievement is the popularity of electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. The average fuel economy of these vehicles is much higher than that of traditional internal combustion engine vehicles, and their sales have continued to grow in recent years as technology has improved and consumers have become more environmentally conscious.
However, despite improvements in fuel economy, average emissions from U.S. vehicles are still higher. Actual average CO2 emissions from all new cars in 2022 fell by 10 g/mile to 337 g/mile. Still, that number is well above the standard set by the U.S. government.
Overall, the report shows that the U.S. auto industry has made some progress in improving fuel economy and reducing emissions, but still needs to continue to work to meet more stringent environmental standards.
