The relationship between fuel economy and fuel use is not linear. The percentage of fuel economy improvement is more important than the numerical miles per gallon (mpg) improvement. For example, increasing fuel economy from 10 mpg to 12 mpg represents a 20% improvement in fuel economy while increasing the same 2 mpg from 20 mpg to 22 mpg is only a 10% improvement.
