600.311-08—Range of fuel economy for comparable automobiles.
(a)
The Administrator will determine the range of combined fuel economy values for each class of comparable automobiles comprising the maximum and minimum combined fuel economy values for all general labels as determined in § 600.210-08(c).
(b)
(1)
The ranges for a model year will be made available on a date specified by the Administrator that closely coincides to the date of the general model introduction for the industry.
(2)
If the Administrator has not made available the fuel economy ranges prior to the model introduction, the ranges from the previous model year must be used.
(3)
For 2008 model year automobiles manufactured or imported prior to the date specified in § 600.306-08(b), the Administrator will provide initial fuel economy ranges based upon data from 2007 models that have been adjusted in accordance with the derived 5-cycle calculations in § 600.210-08.
(c)
If the Administrator determines that automobiles intended for sale in California are likely to exhibit significant differences in fuel economy from those intended for sale in other states, he/she will compute separate ranges of fuel economy values for each class of automobiles for California and for the other states.
(d)
For high altitude vehicles determined under § 600.310, both general and specific labels will contain the range of comparable fuel economy computed in this section.
(e)
The manufacturer shall include the appropriate range of fuel economy determined by the Administrator in paragraph (b) of this section, on each label affixed to an automobile within the class, except as provided in § 600.306(b)(1).
