The map above shows the best-selling models by state for 2013. The Ford F-Series pickup truck, shown in blue, dominates the map. An F-150 has a combined city/highway Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) fuel economy rating of 13 to 19 miles per gallon (mpg) depending on the model selected. Of the 15 states that did not have the F-Series as their top selling model, four states did have a pickup truck as the top model. Nine states had a sedan as the top selling model; of those, California’s top seller, the Honda Civic, had the highest combined fuel economy range (25 to 32 mpg). Two states, Connecticut and Massachusetts, had a sport utility vehicle as the top selling model with a combined fuel economy range of 25 to 26 mpg. Overall, the Eastern third of the United States had the greatest variation for the top selling model in 2013.
