The Top 5 Most Fuel Efficient Cars

1) The drum roll for the most fuel efficient vehicle goes to………The Toyota Prius, which averages a whopping 48 mpg in the city and 45 mpg on the highway. Hmmmm…Prius owners who use gas rebate credit cards probably don’t swipe their cards as often as those of us with gas guzzlers, but how cool that the savings are still there for when they do.

2) Where there is a Toyota, a Honda is sure to follow…The Honda Civic Hybrid gets the same mpg on the highway, 45, as the Prius but lacks the same in city mpg, 40. Too bad, maybe next year.

3) Coming in at number three is a vehicle that, decades ago, would be something seen only in futuristic type movies…The 2008 smart fortwo convertible gets approximately 33mpg in the city and 41mpg on the highway.

4 & 5) Toyota manufacturers must be proud to have three of their vehicles listed in the top five. The Toyota Yaris (Manual 5) gets 29 miles per gallon in the city and 36 mpg while driving the speed limit, on the highway while the Toyota Yaris (Automatic 4) achieves 29 city and 35 highway mpg. In my best female attempt at doing a voice impression of Napoleon Dynamite, “Lucky.”

Our hats are off to Toyota and those other two car manufactures as they lead the pack when it comes to making vehicles that are best for fuel efficiency and helping consumers save on gas.
