 +  * **Fuel efficiency** is the miles per gallon (MPG) or kilometers per liter (km/l) or liters per 100 km (l/100km) that your vehicle uses. In general, a heavier vehicle will have worse fuel efficiency than a lighter vehicle, and a high profile (tall/flat fronted) vehicle will have worse fuel efficiency than a low profile (short/sloped) vehicle. Driving very fast or very slow will significantly reduce fuel efficiency. Most vehicles are optimized for moderate highway speeds, but some (like step vans) are geared for city driving.
