As we saw here on the
Air Quality Matters blog on Jan. 13, 2021 in the post: “The respective gain, dip in light-duty vehicle travel miles, fuel-economy in America and what’s driving the change,” there were increases in aggregate light-duty vehicle (LDV) road-travel miles (VMT) 2019 versus 2018, and adding injury to insult was the notion that LDV fuel-efficiency values had worsened – they retreated from 25.1 miles per gallon (mpg) in Model Year (MY) 2018 to 24.9 mpg in MY 2019 LDVs, a difference of -0.2 mpg or -0.8 percent.
