Where can I find the fuel consumption rating of trucks not listed in the fuel consumption guide or NRCan website?
Fuel consumption data are currently not available for vehicles with a gross vehicle weight (GVWR) rating exceeding the 3855 kg (8500 lbs) limit. As the ¾-ton (and 1-ton and heavier) trucks are heavier than this requirement, their fuel consumption ratings do not appear in the Fuel Consumption Guide or on the EnerGuide label affixed to all new vehicles sold in Canada. Fuel consumption data are not available for medium- or heavy-duty vehicles. Under agreements with vehicle manufacturers, fuel consumption data are required to be submitted for new light-duty vehicles sold in Canada with a GVWR of 3855 kg or less. The GVWR is the maximum design loaded weight of a vehicle including payload, and it differs from the curb weight, which is the weight of a vehicle when ready to use, excluding the driver and payload. Manufacturers are the most likely source of fuel consumption values, feel free to contact the vehicle’s manufacturer about the fuel consumption of the medium- or heavy-duty vehicle.
