(July 8, 2011) SANTA MONICA, Calif. (PRNewswire) — TrueCar.com today provided actual fuel economy numbers from June light vehicle auto sales that indicate miles per gallon will increase to 21.6 MPG in June 2011 compared to 21.3 MPG in June 2010. It's a decrease from May 2011 at 21.9 MPG.

"Car buyers are no longer seeking smaller vehicles as they had in the previous few months as gas prices have recently declined," said Jesse Toprak, Vice President of Industry Trends and Insights at TrueCar.com. "That said, consumers looking for larger vehicles, such as large pickups, are choosing the more fuel-efficient six-cylinder versions that offer the same utility but better fuel economy."
