Measurements

California LEV II Emission Standards for Passenger Cars and Light Duty vehicles less than

8,500 lbs. (grams/mile for 120,000 miles/11 years) as measured by tailpipe emissions:

Rating NMOG CO NOx PM HCHO

LEV 0.090 4.2 0.07 0.01 0.018

ULEV 0.055 2.1 0.07 0.01 0.011

SULEV 0.010 1.0 0.02 0.01 0.004

PZEV 0.010 1.0 0.02 0.01 0.004

NMOG = non-methane organic gases

CO = carbon monoxide

NOx = nitrous oxides

PM = particulate matter

HCHO = formaldehyde

Gas Prices

Planning Ahead

This graph was generated using data from actual fill-ups over the past 6.75 years in Minnesota. It

was added to the document simply for the benefit of Prius (and other hybrid) owners, to make them

feel better about their purchase decision. Rather than believing the so-called experts that claimed

this would never happen to the price of gas, the owners planned ahead.

With traffic conditions steadily growing worse and the population ever increasing, anticipating

continued high demand is very realistic. So expecting prices to return back to the way they were

not too long ago is not wise. And along with the MPG benefit from a hybrid like Prius, you also

get significantly reduced emissions.
