Earlier today, we told you that Mazda leads the EPA rankings in the U.S. for the fifth straight year, more precisely when it comes to manufacturer adjusted fuel economy (average fuel consumption of a company’s entire lineup, with the results weighted for sales volume).
But what about the most fuel-efficient vehicles in Canada? A few days ago, Natural Resources Canada quietly posted its 2018 Fuel Consumption Guide, which provides lots of information about vehicle emissions, fuel efficiency and fuel-saving technologies, efficient driving, EnerGuide labels for vehicles and more.
