What the Lincoln Town Car 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 Town Car, latest tested year 2011:
The label also prints an estimated $3,300 a year in fuel at 15,000 miles, and 494 g/mi of CO₂. EPA files the Town Car under Large Cars, which is the class it gets compared against on the sticker.
How the Town Car's sticker figure changed
Combined MPG printed on the label, model year by model year — 1984 to 2011. Worth checking before you compare a Town Car sticker from one year with another:
Over that span the combined figure rose by 3 mpg, so an early sticker and a recent one describe noticeably different cars. EPA revised its testing method in 2008, which shifts figures printed before and after that year.

Where to find the VIN on a Lincoln Town Car
- WindshieldLower-left corner, driver's side, readable from outside without opening anything.
- Door jambOn the driver's door frame of every Town Car, next to the tyre-pressure and build-date plate.
- DocumentsRegistration, title and insurance card — on a Lincoln Town Car all three must show the same number.
All four must match. A Lincoln Town Car 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.
