In its ongoing efforts to produce higher gas mileage ratings, General Motors (GM) has announced that it will now report fuel economy ratings in Imperial Gallons in the US. In a press release GM spokesperson, Brent Dewar wrote, "as General Motors continues to focus on the greening of its corporate programs, and in better reflecting the needs of the planet with our ongoing work in alternative fuel vehicles, such as the all electric Volt, or our E85 Flex Fuel products, we are very happy to announce the conversion of our miles per gallon (MPG) ratings based on the imperial gallon."
This means that GM will have an instance increase in mileage ratings of 17%. For example, the popular Chevy Malibu will go from a MPG rating of 31.6 (US Gallons) to 38 (Imperial Gallons).
