The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy announced on October 15 the Toyota Prius Hybrid leads all 2010 model cars in fuel efficiency at 51 miles per gallon on the highway and 48 in city driving conditions.
Not only are they leading, they are a full 10 mpg (miles per gallon) ahead of the two model who share second place. The Ford Fusion Hybrid FWD (front wheel drive) and the Mercury Milan Hybrid FWD which come in at 41 miles per gallon highway and 36 miles per gallon in the city.
On the other end of the spectrum, the least, or most wasteful coming in at 11 miles per gallon on the highway is the Lamborghini Murcielago. Other luxury car makers Bugatti, Bentley, and Ferrari were slightly better.
The Fuel Economy Guide provides an estimated annual fuel cost for each vehicle listed. There is an online version allowing consumers to input local fuel prices, driving habits and the guide will produce fuel cost estimate. The guide is available at www.fueleconomy.gov
