Highest Fuel Economy by Vehicle Class
(...)"

!"Les véhicules légers incluent toutes les voitures et des camions légers. Les classes de véhicules légers définies par l'EPA (nom en anglais, Environmental Protection Agency) ont été adoptées pour la classification des véhicules. Cette classification comporte 15 classes : six pour les automobiles, six pour les camions légers et trois pour les familiales. La grande majorité des véhicules légers vendus dans chaque division de recensement se retrouvent dans sept classes soit les voitures super-compactes, les voitures compactes, les voitures moyennes, les grosses voitures, les fourgonnettes, les petites voitures utilitaires, et les gros camions légers. Les classes restantes sont regroupées sous « autres véhicules légers », ce qui incluent des voitures à deux places, des voitures mini-compactes, des petits camions légers, des fourgons, des grosses voitures utilitaires, et trois classes de familiales."
