Mini is ranked #10 as the greenest car.

If you remove the hybrids, it would be ranked #2 as far as gasoline only running cars!!

 

Ranked 10th but gets better gas mileage than the #3 car?

I know there are other factors they use to calculate this mysterious green rating, but still. . . .

 

I didn't see any Ferrari's on the list.

 

Ferraris are red.

 

I don't need green status to make myself feel good. I drive a MINI to do that.

 

My car get's about 25 mile to the gallon. Not all that green.

 

I sure didn't buy the MINI for a green image (although I do like to conserve where possible and it is nice that it's a somewhat efficient car) what does bug me is had I bought a Ford Escape hybrid or Toyota Highlander hybrid I could have collected a tax break for buying a fuel efficient vehicle.

 

Doh!

 

Strip out the Hybrids and NatGas models and MINI is 2nd to the Toyota Yaris. I'm sure glad I have the 2nd best gasoline inhaler. Now if they could just make the MCS run with regular octane instead of premium...

 

I would still drive my car the same even if it got 12 mpg and belched black smoke.

 

Sweet! I hope they make a diesel model available in the US soon!
I would love to have a Mini that ran on Bio feul.

 

My MINI is green

Mine does that...but I pull a HUGE 20mpg.

Funny - thats how I 'discovered'' the MINI although my definition of green is in my wallet! My Jeep GC was eating us alive... Although after developing the sickness I think I would agree with nabeshin!

What a blessing to have soooo much fun as well !!

 

I'm jealous... I'm getting more like 22 in 100% city driving
