Nissan Leaf is now the most fuel efficient model in its segment on the US market. EPA calculated the mpg for the electric model, and Leaf scored 99 mpg.

Once it debuted on the North American market, Nissan Leaf had to receive an EPA sticker showing the fuel efficiency. The guys of Environmental Protection Agency are labeling every model sold in US with a small sticker that specifies the fuel efficiency and the CO2 emissions of the vehicle. Being a full electric vehicle, is hard to calculate the fuel consumption of Nissan Leaf, the CO2 emissions being the only element that scored zero.

Nissan leaf became the most fuel efficient model in its class, scoring the equivalent of 99 mpg combined city/highway. Although Nissan officials have said that the model can run for 100 miles with a full charge, EPA disagreed saying that the model has an autonomy of  73 miles. So the estimated mileage of Nissan leaf is of 99 mpg. Of course, the comparison between Leaf and the conventional vehicles is unfounded and has an orientation purpose. EPA officials have also specified the annual electric costs, $561 for an average user.

Because we are talking about a full-electric vehicle, Nissan customers in The States, will get a $7,500 discount from the American Government, for a car that receives the contribution of an generator powered by an internal combustion engine. Some states in USA also offer additional cut-offs for buying an electric vehicle, so the customers will get an even bigger discount. The starting price for a Nissan leaf in US is of $32,780, the $7,500 cut-off not included.
