What Qualifies as a Fuel-Efficient Vehicle at Tom Wood?

Tom Wood defines this inventory collection as qualifying new and used vehicles with an efficiency rating above 40 MPG. The search includes gasoline vehicles, hybrids, plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles across the Tom Wood network.

Gasoline vehicles and regular hybrids use MPG. Plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles may also display MPGe and electric range. These measurements should be read in context because MPGe is an energy-equivalent comparison, not gasoline mileage.

The live search allows shoppers to sort available vehicles by MPG and review multiple brands in one place. Inventory changes, so the search results remain the source for vehicles currently listed.

Final Check

Verify the exact configuration

Published ratings belong to specific configurations. Review the individual listing and vehicle label before treating a number as the rating for every version of that model.

Make a Useful Comparison

Match Fuel Efficiency to the Way You Drive

The highest number is not always the most useful number. Tom Wood compares fuel economy with route type, space, charging, winter needs and total ownership costs.

City or Highway Driving

Drivers who spend more time in Indianapolis traffic should compare city MPG. Long-distance commuters using I-465, I-65, I-69, I-70 or US-31 should give highway MPG more weight. The Indianapolis Commuter Guide explains how to match the rating to the route.

Passenger and Cargo Space

A smaller car may use less fuel, but it still needs to fit the people and items it carries. Compare the Fuel-Efficient Car Guide with the Fuel-Efficient SUV Guide before choosing a body style.

Hybrid, Plug-In Hybrid or Electric

A hybrid does not require regular charging. A plug-in hybrid works best when it is charged often. An EV replaces gasoline use with battery range and charging time. Tom Wood's Electric Vehicle Guide provides more detail about fully electric vehicles.

AWD and Indiana Winters

An all-wheel-drive configuration may carry a different MPG or electric-range estimate from a front-wheel-drive version. AWD does not replace suitable tires or safe stopping distance. The Fuel-Efficient SUV Guide covers drivetrain and winter-use questions.

New or Used Ownership

A new vehicle may provide the latest technology and full factory coverage. A used vehicle may lower the purchase price enough to outweigh a small MPG difference. The Most Fuel-Efficient Used Cars Guide covers condition, model year, batteries and remaining coverage.

Premium Comfort and Performance

Luxury hybrids and EVs can reduce fuel or energy use while providing premium materials, technology and performance. Larger wheels, added weight and stronger acceleration may affect efficiency. Use the Fuel-Efficient Luxury Vehicle Guide for that comparison.
