Data: EPA and DOE fuel economy ratings, as ingested August 17, 2026

Fuel economy, configuration by configuration

6 of the 6 configurations carry an EPA rating. City, highway and combined are the agency's own test figures, and the annual fuel cost is its own estimate at its own assumed mileage and fuel price.

EPA and DOE ratings for the 2021 Hyundai Elantra. An electric configuration is rated in MPGe, which is a conversion of electricity into a gallon-equivalent and compares consumption rather than cost.

What is under each of them.

Engine, drive and transmission as EPA recorded them. A blank is a field the agency did not populate, which on an electric car is most of this table.

EPA vehicle records for this model year. Displacement is in litres and the transmission code is EPA's own.

Tailpipe CO2 and EPA's own scores

EPA scores fuel economy and greenhouse gas out of 10, where 10 is best. Tailpipe CO2 is grams per mile, and it is tailpipe only: it does not count the emissions of generating the electricity an electric car runs on, which is why every EV on this table reads zero.

About these figures
EPA and DOE fuel economy ratings (FuelEconomy.gov). Unaveraged: each EPA configuration is its own row, because a trim's rating is not the model's. FuelEconomy.gov asks that its data be attributed to EPA and DOE and not presented as an official EPA product. This page is our arrangement of it, not theirs.

Source and reuse

New York State DMV registration file, August 17, 2026 snapshot of the five New York City counties. Model names come from NHTSA's federal VIN decoder. A registration is a record in a state database, not a car on the road. How we counted. The borough is where the registrant receives mail rather than where the car is driven.

Fuel economy: EPA and DOE ratings published at FuelEconomy.gov, unaveraged, so each configuration is its own row. Recalls and complaints: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation, the agency's own wording, as ingested August 17, 2026. Complaints are reports members of the public filed, not confirmed defects. The NYC registration study is the analysis these counts sit on top of.
