2008 Top Fuel Efficient Cars

I am in the market for a new car so I checked the rankings of some fuel efficient cars for 2008 based on the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) miles-per-gallon ratings for city and highway travel. The EPA has a combined fuel economy formula of 55 percent of city mpg rating plus 45 percent of highway mpg rating. The rating for each vehicle is expressed in mpg as a city / highway ratio.

Rank - Manufacturer / Model --- MPG
1       Toyota Prius (hybrid-electric) --- 48 / 45
2       Honda Civic Hybrid --- 40 /45
3       Nissan Altima Hybrid --- 35/30
4       Ford Escape Hybrid FWD --- 34 / 30
4       Mazda Tribute Hybrid 2WD --- 34 / 30
4       Mercury Mariner Hybrid FWD --- 34/ 30
5       Toyota Camry Hybrid --- 33 / 34
6       Toyota Yaris (manual) --- 29 / 36
7       Toyota Yaris (automatic) --- 29 / 35
8       Ford Escape Hybrid 4WD --- 29 / 27
8       Mercury Mariner Hybrid 4WD --- 29 / 27
8       Mazda Tribute Hybrid 4WD --- 29 / 27
