No Fueling

The EPA on Thursday released its list of the most fuel efficient 2010 models and not surprisingly, the Toyota Prius topped the chart. And while the U.S. Government's study had a decidedly Japanese accent, the second car on the list was the Ford Fusion/Mercury Milan hybrid. Rated at 41 in the city and 36 highway, the Fusion/Milan hybrid is a great car.
The EPA also rates fuel efficient vehicles by class and an interesting note is that the Hyundai Sonata received top ratings in the large car category. While the Civic was tops among subcompacts, the VW Jetta TDI (that's a diesel) was second. The VW diesels all scored well, by the way, supporting the theory that diesels should be considered by those who are concerned about saving money on fuel.
Topping the list for the car with the lowest fuel efficiency was the Lamborghini Murcielago, which gets 8 city and 13 highway. But if you're driving one, well, you're probably not worried about gas mileage anyway.
