Fuel Efficiency

More About the Fuel Efficiency Driver

The Distance Pro is the efficiency obsessive - every tank is a personal challenge, and you've probably reset your trip computer at every fill-up since the day you drove off the lot. The Toyota Prius is the icon: the car that made hybrid mainstream, and the latest generation finally looks as good as it drives. The Honda Insight, while discontinued, remains a fantastic used pick with Civic-based refinement and Accord-level fuel economy.

The Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid delivered some of the best real-world MPG numbers of any car on sale, while the Toyota Corolla Hybrid offers Prius-like efficiency in a more conventional sedan wrapper. The Kia Niro Hybrid splits the difference between sedan efficiency and crossover practicality, and the Honda CR-V Hybrid brings SUV space without SUV fuel bills. For the Distance Pro going fully electric, the Chevrolet Bolt EV offers over 250 miles of range at a bargain price.

The Toyota Prius Prime plugs in for short commutes and switches to hybrid mode for road trips - the best of both worlds for the mileage-obsessed. Hypermiling forums bookmarked, tire pressure checked weekly - every MPG counts.
