Time to start over on EPA mileage stickers?
Even more confusing with plug-in vehicles
The Mini E electric vehicle will be rated at 99 mpg according to the EPA’s preliminary methodology, while the Chevy Volt will be rated at 230 mpg.
Yet, the Mini E will cost less per month to operate according to Edmunds.
Thus, Edmunds believes that operating costs, for instance, might be a better way to provide useful information to consumers. Likewise, environmental concerns, such as yearly CO2 emissions, could be added as well.
Regardless, is it time to overhaul the EPA’s mileage stickers?
