Frequently Asked Questions About SUVs with the Best Gas Mileage

Everything you need to know about calculating SUV fuel savings, EPA ratings, MPGe, and choosing the right powertrain.

To find the best SUV with good gas mileage, our calculator compares your current vehicle's annual fuel expenditure against each SUV's official EPA energy consumption ratings. We factor in your selected Annual Mileage and current average Fuel/Electricity Rates using the formula:

Annual Cost = (Annual Miles / Combined MPG or MPGe) × Fuel Price per Unit

The 5-year savings represent the difference between your current car's total 5-year fuel cost and the estimated 5-year energy cost of the selected SUV.
