Federal agencies' leased or bought passenger cars must hit a minimum fleet-wide fuel economy. That minimum is 18 mpg, or the regular standard if it's higher. Combat, police, and rescue vehicles don't count in the calculation.

(a) Definition — "Executive agency" has the meaning given in 5 U.S.C. § 105. (b) Fleet Average Fuel Economy — (1) The President must set regulations requiring passenger automobiles that executive agencies lease for at least 60 straight days, or buy, in a fiscal year to hit a fleet average fuel economy (figured under paragraph (2)) of at least the greater of: (A) 18 miles per gallon; or (B) the applicable standard under section 32902(b) or (c) for the model year that includes January 1 of that fiscal year. (2) Fleet average fuel economy equals: the total number of qualifying passenger automobiles leased or bought that year (not counting ones built for combat, law enforcement, or emergency rescue missions), divided by the sum of, for each model, the number bought or leased divided by that model's fuel economy.
