Best Gas Mileage Cars - Not Just the Usual Suspects!

The best gas mileage cars include the Toyota Prius hybrid. However, they also include a few surprises, vehicles that may not come to mind when we think top fuel efficiency.

Gas prices seem to be going up and up. The price of oil is still very unstable, which means gas prices are unstable. That also almost always means they will continue to rise.

The best gas mileage cars are also the newest cars, which means most of us don’t have them, and most of us aren’t in a position to buy a new car right now. Besides, that would defeat the purpose of paying less money for gas.

The $21,100 Toyota Prius is the current top performer, with a Combined EPA estimate of 42 mpg. In addition to the Prius it Toyota’s Corolla, the Honda Civic hybrid, and the Mini Cooper. Surprisingly, the Toyota Altima is on the Top 10 list.

Along with the Toyota Prius, many of the top gas mileage cars are what you might expect, however not all of them are obvious.

Few people are predicting that oil will stabilize anytime soon. That means that the price of gas probably won’t stabilize anytime soon either. The one benefit, if it can be called a benefit, is that people are a lot more cognizant of their energy and gas consumption.

Even though gas prices aren’t likely to drop in the near term, there are steps we can take now. If we can’t drive the best gas mileage car, we can make the care we do drive more efficient by keeping the tires inflated properly, making sure they’re aligned, and keeping our engines properly tuned.
