Eight Fuel Economy Myths Debunked - Myth #8 Efficiency Decreases With Age

Myth #8 - "Fuel Efficiency Decreases as a Car Ages."

Conclusion - MYTH!

We chalk this one up to a problem of perception, because the EPA has determined that after an initial break-in period, MPG can actually increase over the first several years of ownership if a car is properly maintained. When these increases finally subside, some owners may perceive a decrease, but in reality, you may simply be achieving the EPA estimates for your vehicle when it was new. A well-maintained car can often hit the same MPG figures for decades.
