My 1990 Geo Prizm got 43 mpg. Not a hybrid. It was a chevy with a toyota engine. Technology has grown exponentially over the last 20 years. Yet, how have the U.S. auto manufacturers managed to regress on the mpg on the vehicles they produce today?

It's simple. They are in bed with the Oil Companies and they will continue to lose money until they produce vehicles with 40 + mpg.

Americans are sick of being lied to. I purchased a new ford taurus. The gas cap had the logo of BP and it said Ford recommends BP gas for this vehicle. It's sad. We're either being raped by the ceo's of the oil companies or the ceo's of the auto manufacturers.

Most of us drive in the city the whole time. In Australia, the official figures put too much weight on country driving. A nice advantage for our big 6 cylinder rear wheel drive fleet when it comes to looking at stickers on windscreens in car dealerships.

Looks like they're ordered by city MPG, which really doesn't make much sense.
Please order this list by combined MPG. It changes the list quite a bit. Thanks.

Wish I could buy this now!

The hybrids drive so much worse (MPG-wise) than advertised – they really aren’t that impressive. Now a plug-in hybird – that is a car worth buying! I want my Volt
