Domestic carmakers all are comfortably ahead of the schedule in their quest to satisfy future fuel economy goals in the U.S., according to the Environmental Protection Agency's analysis of 2013 model year results.
EPA adds that nine of the 13 top-selling carmakers surpassed their corporate average fuel economy targets.
America's new-car fleet in 2013 averaged 24.1 mpg, climbing 0.5 mpg from 2012 to the highest level ever recorded by the agency. Under current regulations, carmakers are expected to achieve a combined average fuel economy of 54.5 mpg by 2025.
