What the Saturn SL 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 SL, latest tested year 2002:
The label also prints an estimated $2,150 a year in fuel at 15,000 miles, and 336 g/mi of CO₂. EPA files the SL under Compact Cars, which is the class it gets compared against on the sticker.
How the SL's sticker figure changed
Combined MPG printed on the label, model year by model year — 1991 to 2002. Worth checking before you compare a SL sticker from one year with another:
Over that span the combined figure rose by 2 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 Saturn SL
- WindshieldLower-left corner, driver's side, readable from outside without opening anything.
- Door jambOn the driver's door frame of every SL, next to the tyre-pressure and build-date plate.
- DocumentsRegistration, title and insurance card — on a Saturn SL all three must show the same number.
All four must match. A Saturn SL 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.

The EPA figures on file are 29 mpg combined (25 city / 36 highway), from its 2002 rating, with an estimated $2,150 a year in fuel printed alongside.
