Summary
H.R. 1103, the Fuel Efficiency Truth in Advertising Act of 2005, would require the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to update the methods used to calculate the fuel economy ratings displayed on new vehicle window stickers. The bill directs the EPA to adjust its testing to better reflect real-world driving conditions, such as higher speed limits, rapid acceleration, air conditioning use, and extreme temperatures. For consumers, this change is intended to provide more accurate "miles per gallon" estimates that align with actual gas mileage experienced on the road.
