EPA ratings show how far a car can go on a certain amount of fuel or electricity. It's a way to measure how efficient a car is.

Technical Definition

EPA ratings refer to the fuel economy estimates provided by the Environmental Protection Agency for vehicles, indicating how many miles a vehicle can travel per gallon of fuel or, in the case of electric vehicles, how efficiently it uses electricity.
