For example, switching from a 10-mile-per-gallon (mpg) vehicle to a 15-mpg vehicle saves more fuel and results in greater fuel cost savings than switching from a 25-mpg vehicle to a 75-mpg vehicle. Vehicles that use fuels other than gasoline, such as diesel or electricity, will have different fuel savings and fuel cost.
