Hybrid Mpg Cars

Monday 7 September 2009

The Toyota Prius gets 48 MPG city and 45 MPG highway, while the Honda Civic Hybrid gets 40 MPG city and 45 MPG highway.these cars are hybrids, meaning that they have have both a regular gasoline engine and an electric engine, and they use a combination of both to get such great mileage. The next most fuel efficient car on the list is the smart fortwo coupe, which gets 33 MPG city and 41 MPG highway. The smart fortwo is a “regular” car, with no hybrid technology. All three of these cars get great gas mileage, no doubt about it, and I would be happy to own any of the three. However, what if I told you that there were mass-market cars sold in other parts of the world that get even better gas mileage? And what if you knew that one of them was a full-size station wagon, and neither of them are hybrids.Among 2008 models, the Corolla loses some ground--with manual transmission--a model averages 28 mpg in city driving and 37 mpg on the highway. But the Toyota Yaris subcompact car, which is the sales leader in its segment, averages 29 in the city and 36 on the highway. A version with an automatic transmission achieves a 29/35 mpg score.
