Corporate Average Fuel Economy or CAFE was put into effect in 1975 and Congress has been tweaking it for 38 years, so it constantly improves the average fuel economy for all cars and trucks sold in the United States.

This makes it vitally important that you do your research very carefully. Remember…no matter what price you are quoted, someone else can always come in lower but make sure…
