BEST CARS WITH GREAT GAS MILEAGE

Top cars that are smart buys and easy on fuel

New York, April 24, 2006— In an exclusive online feature, CNNMoney.com and Edmunds.com have selected vehicles in five separate categories that get optimal fuel mileage in what are otherwise outstanding automotive values. The list is not only based on gas mileage, it also looks at cars that are smart buys and easy on fuel.

The Top cars with great gas mileage in each category are:

  • Luxury car: Mercedes-Benz E320 CDI
  • Family sedan: Toyota Camry
  • Sports car: Chevrolet Corvette
  • Crossover SUV: Toyota Rav4
  • Subcompact: Toyota Corolla

 

Toyota is well represented on this list because it does two things particularly well; it builds high-quality cars by every measure and cars that are very fuel-efficient. None of the top cars are hybrids because, with their added cost, hybrids aren't really a good value from a purely economic standpoint. However, hybrid choices are provided as an alternative in some categories for those who are willing to pay more to burn less fuel.

 

The entire list and story are now available on CNNMoney.com, or by accessing the following link: http://money.cnn.com/2006/04/19/Autos/good_fuel_misers/index.htm
