¹ Gasoline cost savings calculated using a real discount rate of 5%, which is equivalent to a typical 8% car loan. Mileage based on findings from the National Personal Transportation Survey. On road fuel economy assumed to be 18% below test values, or 3% to 4% below the combined city and highway EPA window sticker values.

² Miles Per Gallon determined by EPA adjusted fuel economy. This is the combination of the city and highway EPA fuel economy values that you would see on a vehicle window sticker. These values can be found at www.fueleconomy.gov . CAFE test miles per gallon values for Guardian and Guardian XSE are 27.8 mpg and 36.3 mpg respectively.

³ Includes two, four and all wheel drive versions with 5, 6 and 8 cylinder engines. Excludes 4 cylinder engines unless that is the only option available. The highest fuel economy is used for the savings calculation to provide a conservative result.

Note: Savings may differ from actual report findings in "Building a Better SUV: A Blueprint for Saving Lives, Money and Gasoline" due to rounding and simplification of data.
