Fuel efficiency has improved dramatically in recent years, in large part thanks to stricter $4 implemented by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Today, new cars sold in the United States get an average of 24.9 mpg, according to the $4.
But just a generation ago, in 1980, vehicles were averaging around 17 mpg, $4
Vehicle fuel efficiency is an immediately relevant issue for American families. Some drivers $4. And as added fuel efficiency means reduced carbon emissions, more miles per gallon today means less environmental impact in the long term.
To create a level playing field while considering fuel efficiency, we looked at cars with gasoline-powered combustion engines, not electric vehicles, hybrids, or diesel-engine vehicles, and we excluded trucks and SUVs.
Here are the five most fuel-efficient cars being produced today, along with the four least fuel-efficient ones.
