Check out www.fueleconomy.gov for yearly information on all US cars fuel ratings. Any hybrid car (Honda Insight, Toyota Prius) will have excellent fuel ratings. Also, turbo diesel engines by VW do very well. Both the VW New Bug and the VW Golf models with TDI engines get 42/49 for the last few years.
Here are more opinions and answers from other s.com members:
- I will submit that the Volkswagen Lupo TDi is the top in this category. Not sold in the US, the Lupo TDi gets around 95 mpg from its 3-cylinder engine. I'm not sure if it's got quite as much "oomph" as your average hybrid, but I'm sure that's better mileage than a hybrid would get. (Makes one wonder what kind of mileage a VW hybrid would get ... 150-200?)
- The Honda Hybrid is said to get an extraordinary 650 miles to the gallon!
- If by 650 you mean 65, you are correct. They get 600 or so a tank, but that's a whole tank, 10.6 gallons.
Hybrids have been proven to get poorer fuel economy than diesels in "real world" operation, especially in the relatively flat interior of Australia. Petrol hybrids are "in their element" in the cut and thrust of city driving, not on the open road.
