The period from 1975–1987 was marked by a rapid increase in average fuel economy, followed by a gradual decrease in fuel economy from 1988–2004. From 2005–2020 average fuel economy rose by 29%. If this preliminary data holds, that will be a new record high for average new light-duty vehicle fuel economy.
