If you are buying a used car, be careful of the new MPG ratings that are now in place. Since 2008, MPG ratings on cars seemed to have gone down. In reality, the old MPG ratings were based on driving conditions that were unrealistic for the way we now live. Cars that are 2008 models and newer did not lose any MPG, the new and more realistic standards were just put in place.
