In a year that has seen other manufacturers take a self-inflicted beating for trying to outsmart the Environmental Protection Agency, Mazda has once again been praised by the EPA for fuel economy.
In its most recent Light Duty Fuel Economy Trends report, the EPA named Mazda the most fuel efficient manufacturer in the US. This is the third straight year that Mazda has taken the top spot for fuel efficiency. Interestingly, Mazda has accomplished this without a hybrid or electric car. Mazda's SKYACTIV® Technology is credited with advancements that make the difference. According to Mazda USA, "SKYACTIV is a suite of component and engineering technologies intended to cut vehicle weight and improve engine efficiency for outstanding environmental and safety performance, without sacrificing the brand’s renowned driving pleasure".
According to the EPA, Mazda had the highest fleet-wide adjusted fuel economy performance, at 29.4 miles per gallon, as well as the lowest CO2 emissions, 328.
