Best Gas Mileage Cars

What are the best gas mileage cars?

Fuel-efficient vehicles are a growing trend as gas prices around the world continue to rise. The best gas mileage cars help save you substantial amounts of money at the gas pump, and also help foster a healthier environment by cutting down on pollution. Although electric, plug-in hybrid and alternative-fuel cars are gaining in popularity, gasoline-engined cars are still by far the most used cars on the road today. This list therefore excludes electric cars and plug-in hybrids, and looks exclusively at gas-powered vehicles and normal hybrid vehicles (ones that you don’t have to plug in to charge up). The list covers the top ten fuel-efficient cars in the world today, counting down to number one. All the gas mileage ratings are based on figures from the US Environmental Protection Agency.
