New light-duty vehicles sold in the U.S. in November had a sales-weighted fuel economy average of 24.8 mpg, according to the University of Michigan's Transportation Research Institute.
The monthly average, also achieved four times earlier this year, is the highest since UMTRI began calculating the data in October 2007.
Researcher Michael Sivak notes that the model-year average fuel economy for all cars and light trucks sold in the U.S. has climbed 19% from 20.8 mpg in 2008 to 24.7 mpg for the 2013 year ended Sept. 30.
