Wow, that list is horrid!!

I hate to say it but if they are thinking that vehicles that have a combined EPA fuel economy of 24mpg are fuel savers, they need to re-evaluate some things.

I know they were looking for style and economy....but in most of those on the list, they got one, without the other......but that is just my opinion.

^ I agree. anything below 30 mpg should not be considered a "fuel efficient" vehicle. With exponetial advances in technology, I would think 30+mpg can be easily achievable today.

Great to see my new car made the list.

You might notice that both British cars (Lotus and Mini Cooper S) are righthand drive in the pics where all the others are lefthand drive.
