Top Fuel Efficient Cars

When a smart Is Not the Right Choice for You

Looking for options for other top fuel efficient cars because a smart car is not in your future?

Even though I love the smart fortwo car and believe it is a great choice for many people interested in fuel efficient vehicles, I DO understand that it's not right for all my visitors. For instance, if you have a family, a smart fortwo isn't going to be big enough for family outings.

Or... if you want to start being more energy efficient TODAY, you may not be willing to wait a year or more for a smart car. I get that.

So, in recognition of those facts, I thought I'd provide a rundown of some of the top fuel efficient cars that can be looked on as alternatives to a smart car.

With energy conservation looming large on the horizon these days, this page may become somewhat obsolete as fast as I can update it. What I mean is there are new fuel efficient vehicles appearing on the market all the time. Still, whatever I DO list here will at least get you started...

Alternatives for Fuel Efficient Cars

  • Toyota Prius. According to FuelEconomy.gov, this is the overall most fuel efficient vehicle in America, with ratings of 48/45 MPG.

  • Honda Fit. One of the newest entries in the market, the Fit is a worthy alternative to the smart, with an ultra low emissions engine and MPG of 33/27.

  • MINI Cooper. Though still small, the Mini does offer slightly more room than the smart and may also be slightly more available, having been sold in the US for several years.

  • Toyota Yaris. The slightly larger Yaris still offers fuel efficiency of 36/39 MPG.

  • Honda Civic Hybrid. Hybrid cars gain their fuel efficiency through alternative fuel, by combining a gas engine with electric power.

  • Volkswagen Jetta. This brand and model have offered reliable performance and fuel efficiency for many years.

Follow the links above to learn more about each of these options. As for me, I'm still hoping and waiting for my smart car, but the exciting thing is that there are many other options for the top fuel efficient cars these days too!
