Automobile Fuel Consumption
There are many reasons that automobile fuel consumption is increasingly in the news and on people’s minds. A more fuel efficient vehicle costs less to operate and with current gas prices this is more of a concern than in the past. A more efficient vehicle also produces lower carbon dioxide emissions into our environment.
Purchasing a new vehicle is a major decision and fuel consumption is often one of the deciding factors. The Government of Canada publishes an annual Fuel Consumption Guide to help consumers make an informed decision. You can view this guide and also information on other ways to reduce your fuel consumption by clicking on the link below.

As part of the Government of Canada’s plan to protect the environment, the ecoAUTO Rebate Program encourages Canadians to buy fuel efficient vehicles. Rebates from $1000 to $2000 are available to people who buy or enter a long-term lease (12 months or more) for a fuel-efficient vehicle.
