Car Fuel Economy Scraper: MPG, EV Range & CO2 by Model

Look up official fuel economy for any car sold in the US since 1984. Paste "year make model" lines and get one clean row per variant: city, highway and combined MPG, fuel type, EV range, CO2 per mile, annual fuel cost, engine and transmission — straight from the US EPA's official test data.

Built for car dealers, listing sites, fleet buyers and car apps. Turn an inventory list into complete fuel economy specs in one run, with no signup and no API key.

What you get for each vehicle variant

• cityMpg, highwayMpg, combinedMpg (MPGe for electric vehicles)
• fuelType and electricType (hybrid, plug-in hybrid, EV, diesel, flex fuel)
• evRangeMiles for electric vehicles
• co2GramsPerMile and ghgScore: emissions for sustainability reporting
• annualFuelCostUsd: the EPA's estimated yearly fuel cost
• cylinders, displacementLiters, drive, transmission, vehicleClass
• detailUrl: the vehicle's official fueleconomy.gov page

How to write vehicle lines

• "2023 Toyota Camry": returns every Camry variant that year (Camry, Camry AWD, Camry Hybrid...).
• "2022 Tesla Model 3": trims count as models; this returns Long Range, Performance and RWD.
• "2023 Honda": leave the model off to get every Honda model that year.
• Set max rows per vehicle line to control how many variants each line returns (default 10).

Pricing

$0.003 per vehicle variant found. Lines that match nothing are free, and the first 2 rows of every run are free. Speccing a 500-car inventory costs about $1.50.

Frequently asked questions

Where does the data come from? The US EPA's fueleconomy.gov vehicle database, the official source of US fuel economy test results. Coverage runs from model year 1984 to the newest releases.

Does it cover cars outside the US? Only vehicles sold in the US market. European and Asian market versions of the same model can have different figures.

Why does one line return several rows? The EPA tests each engine, transmission and drive combination separately, and lists trims like "Model 3 Long Range AWD" as their own models. Each row is one tested variant.

What are MPGe and EV range? For electric and plug-in vehicles the MPG fields hold MPGe (miles per gallon equivalent), and evRangeMiles holds the official electric range.
