  Calculate Your MPG Savings The Direction for Savings
How much are high gas prices costing you?
 
 
This fall, Congress can take the biggest single step to cut America's oil dependence, curb global warming, and save you money at the gas pump -- by making new cars and light trucks go farther on a gallon of gas. Use the calculator below to find out how much money you'd save and how much less CO2 your car would emit with a new 35-mpg fuel economy standard.

I drive miles a year. My gas costs $ a gallon.

Notes: Gas cost and mileage figures above are typical for most American drivers. Customize your numbers if you like! Car models in the dropdown above are for model year 2006 vehicles, but since fuel economy standards have remained stagnant for nearly twenty years, you can get estimated savings for older vehicles as well. If your car isn't in the menu above, pick the closest model to get a rough idea how much you'd save if Detroit were required to use existing fuel saving technology to make all vehicles go farther on a gallon of gas.
