Best Gas Mileage Cars - Not The Ones You Thought?

By Leona Allen
The best gas mileage cars aren't just the usual suspects. Toyota's hybrid Prius might be the first thing that pops into your mind, but the others may not come to mind as easily.

Gas prices seem to be going up and up. The price of oil is still very unstable, which means gas prices are unstable. That also almost always means they will continue to rise.

The best gas mileage cars are invariably the newest models, and few of us are driving brand new vehicles. Buying a new car because it saves money on gas defeats the purpose.

For $21,100 the Toyota Prius gives us a Combined EPA Mileage of 42 mpg. Other top performers include the Mini Cooper, the Honda Civic, and the Toyota Corolla. Surprisingly though, the Toyota Altima is on the list as well.

Along with the Toyota Prius, many of the top gas mileage cars are what you might expect, however not all of them are obvious.

Few people are predicting that oil will stabilize anytime soon. That means that the price of gas probably won't stabilize anytime soon either. The one benefit, if it can be called a benefit, is that people are a lot more cognizant of their energy and gas consumption.

Even though gas prices aren't likely to drop in the near term, there are steps we can take now. If we can't drive the best gas mileage car, we can make the care we do drive more efficient by keeping the tires inflated properly, making sure they're aligned, and keeping our engines properly tuned.
