Too Afraid to Ask

The EPA is a government agency that tests cars to see how far they can go on a gallon of fuel. This helps people know how efficient a car is before they buy it.

Technical Definition

EPA stands for the Environmental Protection Agency, which sets fuel economy standards and tests vehicles for their fuel efficiency ratings. These ratings help consumers understand how many miles per gallon a vehicle can achieve under standard driving conditions.
