What the Cadillac Deville sticker says about fuel
Fuel economy is a legally required block on every Monroney label — city, highway and combined figures plus the estimated annual fuel bill. These are the EPA numbers on file for the Deville, latest tested year 2005:
The label also prints an estimated $3,300 a year in fuel at 15,000 miles, and 484 g/mi of CO₂. EPA files the Deville under Large Cars, which is the class it gets compared against on the sticker.
How the Deville's sticker figure changed
Combined MPG printed on the label, model year by model year — 1984 to 2005. Worth checking before you compare a Deville sticker from one year with another:
The figure actually fell by 2 mpg across the span — usually a sign of added weight or power. EPA revised its testing method in 2008, which shifts figures printed before and after that year.
What a used Deville sells for now

Where to find the VIN on a Cadillac Deville
- WindshieldLower-left corner, driver's side, readable from outside without opening anything.
- Door jambOn the driver's door frame of every Deville, next to the tyre-pressure and build-date plate.
- DocumentsRegistration, title and insurance card — on a Cadillac Deville all three must show the same number.
All four must match. A Cadillac Deville whose windshield plate disagrees with the door jamb has either had a panel replaced or a tampered identity — check the paperwork before any money changes hands.
