At today's AAA national average price ($3.80/gal, 2026-07-05) — the EPA's own price/date assumption isn't exposed in the public dataset, so we recompute this from the EPA's MPG figure and a sourced current price.

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.
