The Most Fuel Efficient Cars of 2012
The Top Fuel Efficient Cars of 2012
Even in tough economic times, the price of fuel has hovered above $3 per gallon. And should the economy rebound, those prices could skyrocket. Youll wish you had found a fuel efficient car sooner than later.
Automakers are stepping up their game. Back in August, I was excited to see the Obama administration and automakers agree to set a fleet-wide fuel efficiency average standard of 54.5 mpg by 2025. We have a long way to go to get there, but you can already see signs of progress. As evidence, there are three new 2012 model year vehicles to make this years list.
There are some big differences versus last years list of the most fuel efficient cars. First, I decided to included the top fuel sippers, regardless of their price. In the past, I focused only on cars that retailed under $30,000. I also ranked by combined mpg instead of highway mpg.
