Top Five Fuel Efficient Vehicles
Vehicle that can save you money at the gas pump.
The Honda FCX Clarity
The Honda FCX Clarity is a fuel cell car so it does’t produce any emissions. The only exhaust that is released is water vapor. This car doesn’t harm the ozone layer at all. The Honda gets 72 MPG. That’s a step a ahead of the other car companies. The Honda has 134 horsepower. The Honda runs on hydrogen that generates energy which is stored in the Lithium-Ion Battery which propels the vehicle.
Toyota Prius
The Toyota Prius is a hybrid that gives off really low emissions. It is a gas electric car that gets 48 MPG. The Prius is run by a 1.5L 110 horsepower engine. When driving at low speeds you are not using any gas and when you reach a certain speed the gas part of the engine takes over. This allows the car to have better city mileage than highway mileage.
Honda Civic Hybrid
The Honda Civic Hybrid uses a magnet motor to charge the battery so it doesn’t have to plug into a charging station.This car gets 45 MPG and has a 1.3L engine that produces 110 horsepower. The Civic can go 590.4 miles on a single tank.
Smart ForTwo
The Smart ForTwo is a compact two seater.It has a small 1.0L engine that has 71 horsepower . The small 1.0L engine propels the car from 0 – 60 in 12.8 seconds towards a top speed of 90 mph. The Smart has a 5 speed automated manual. The Smart gets 36 miles to the gallon and costs about $15,000.
Mini Cooper
The Mini Cooper has a lot of style but if you look at the gas mileage it’s far from being a bad car at all. The Mini get 35 MPG and along with the good gas mileage it is pretty fast. The Mini has a 1.6L 4 cylinder engine with 118 horsepower and has a top speed of 126 MPG. The Mini costs around $19,000.

The Prius is awesome! I keep hearing raves like “…you can drive from Toronto to Montreal on a tablespoon of gasoline” and while this to me sounds more like apocrophilly than truth, the fact is, it IS very fuel efficient and we need to stop sucking petrol. It’s not ‘just the price of oil’ or ‘our thirst for oil’, other nations like China are becoming the BIGGEST oil user and if they can out-buy us from the current suppliers/exporters (using the profits from their cheap merchandise being sold in Wal-Marts everywhere, they are buying cars faster than any nation ever has), they get the oil. And their growing economy requires FUEL, I suspect that they will be served first… We need to segregate ourselves from that..
General motors was supposed to make a car on hidrogen engine before the year 2010, it seems that Japanese are one step ahead again.
Non pollution cars are the future, the electric ones, the ones based of hidrogen as fuel, the ones based on solar cells (but they still have the problem of the space for batteries), etc.
Excelent article, keep penning and researching my friend, these are very good news for planet Earth and mankind.
Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for sharing this article. I could get use to 72 mpg. I added you as a triond friend. I look forward to sharing articles with you.
If I were to pick one of these fuel efficient cars, it would have to be the mini cooper although the two seater is cute. I do have to say going 590 miles on a single tank in the civic hybrid is very impressive.
Awesome pics, and useful info.
This is a very informative article. Especially now that everybody has a problem with gas price hike. I love Honda Civic Hybrid.
Great article!
I love Honda Civic Hybrid *_* I want one….
Thank you for the information!
Way to leave out the new VW clean TDI. It completely owns the hybrid and has much more power. Check it out yourself. I am not going to try and convince people here.
Very cool! If you can’t afford one of these cars, click on this website for tips on how to get better mileage with your old car!
