EPA updated its fuel-economy equations again for model year 2017 — mostly affecting hybrids and turbocharged engines — and recalculated 2011-2016 ratings to match, in some cases 1-2 MPG lower. The number above already reflects that update.
For its most efficient trim, the EPA estimates about $4,450 a year in fuel (15,000 miles) — roughly $371 a month.
