According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)’s most recent Light Duty Fuel Economy Trends report, Mazda Motor Corporation is the most fuel-efficient auto manufacturer in the U.S for the second consecutive year.
With the highest fleet-wide adjusted fuel economy performance of 28.1 miles per gallon (MPG), and the lowest adjusted CO2 emissions of 316, Mazda led the chart for model year 2013, as they did for the previous year.
Mazda was able to maintain the highest fuel efficiency of all automotive manufacturers for the second year in a row through the use of the company’s Skyactiv® Technology.
Skyactiv is a suite of component and engineering technologies that incorporate ultra-high compression ratio gasoline engines, super-efficient manual and automatic transmissions, lightweight chassis and body components, reduced rolling resistance and low-drag body styling.
Furthermore, Mazda has achieved this fuel economy rating by working to improve existing technologies, making outstanding fuel economy affordable.
