\"GasWhen you\u2019re in the market for a new or used car or truck, you can compare how much it costs to insure the different makes and models by calling your insurance company, but how can you find out which vehicle will cost more in gas?\u00a0The U.S. Department of Energy<\/a> and the Environmental Protection Agency<\/a> have come up with a powerful tool to help you save money and protect the environment at the same time.<\/p>\r\n

FuelEconomy.gov<\/a> is an interactive, online tool that generates side-by-side comparisons of gas mileage (MPG), annual fuel costs, annual petroleum use, greenhouse gas emissions, and the smog rating for new and used vehicles. There are also crash-test safety ratings available. Just select the \u201cFind a Car\u201d feature, plug in your information, and compare! Even if you\u2019re not looking for a new vehicle, this resource can help you maximize the fuel economy of your current car or truck.<\/p>\r\n

There\u2019s even a Trip Calculator<\/a> to compare vehicles according to where you plan to be driving them most often, or to calculate how much it will cost to drive your own vehicle on a specific trip. This can be a very useful feature if you\u2019re planning to drive a long distance during the holidays, or if you\u2019re looking for a car to drive to work every day.<\/p>\r\n
