its pretty sad that my 16 year old car gets almost the same fuel economy as a new hybrid

RE: 2008 Top 10 least (and most) fuel efficient cars
 

tru, mine 2, they should just screw the hybrids and bring back the old toyotas and hondas and everything will be more fuel effiecient

RE: 2008 Top 10 least (and most) fuel efficient cars
 

exsatly^ when my cx was stock it got around 40mpg, and the vx models are suppose to get 45mpg with the vtec-e

RE: 2008 Top 10 least (and most) fuel efficient cars
 

WOW! Mycivic ranks #3 in most efficient.

RE: 2008 Top 10 least (and most) fuel efficient cars
 

You forgot the diesels. TDI... somewhere around 55 mph if I remember correctly? Above 40 I know that for sure.

RE: 2008 Top 10 least (and most) fuel efficient cars
 

They can't. There's absolutely no way those cars could meet today's safety requirements. Crumple zones, multiple airbags, ABS, stability control, etc. Those all add weight and those older cars generallydon't have them. Toyota and Honda would get destroyed in the press for putting out a 1-star crash test car.

Also, those old cars were missing lots of other weight -stuff we take for granted now - a lot of them didn't have power steering, power brakes, power windows, AC insome cases, etc.

In response to the originallist, I'm notsurprised to see the high-peformance cars (Lambo, Bugatti, etc) on there, but a JeepGrand Cherokee? Geez.

I got 18-19MPG with my buddy's 5.7LHemi Grand Cherokee Limited with full-time 4WD. I set the cruise at 55-60MPH. He usually gets 13-15MPG. When he tows his 6,000+lb boat, it gets even worse. For 340HP or so, I guess that's not too bad for a luxury gas SUV with AWDthat can tow 7200lb.

I don't think the SRT 6.1L Hemi version does any better on mileage, and I don't think it'll tow as much, but the power is pretty insane for an SUV.

Diesel engines are really an amazing thing. They get amazing fuel economy. Everybody talks about hybrids as bieng so efficient but diesels have been around forever and they the same fuel economy. The only drawback to a diesel is that they pollute the enviroment alot more than a gasoline engine because of they fuel they burn. Diesels also have a major advantage, they can burn just about anything. You can make diesel fuel from corn, soy beans, and even french fry oil. The creater of the diesel intended that the diesel engine be something that can burn any fuel.

I love diesel engines. Those and rotary engines are very impressive, though unfortunately have slight drawbacks =/ Diesels also tend to last a lot longer (depenind on the driver of course).

RE: 2008 Top 10 least (and most) fuel efficient cars
 

that list i 2 things... 1)Sucks 2) Wrong.. the Ford GT isn't even on that list.. Top Gear did a test and it was only getting 4 Mpg on a road trip

And anyone that says they get 48, or even 45 mpg in a Prius is lying

RE: 2008 Top 10 least (and most) fuel efficient cars
 

i agree my cousin's mother in law has a prius she only gets 36-39 highway and let me add 28 city 34 highway in a auto sport fit is bs i only got 21-23 city and 29-30 highway

RE: 2008 Top 10 least (and most) fuel efficient cars
 

Everything listed there is BS. those are numbers provided form the manufacturer, not from driving them, the general rule of thumb is that you will get what it shows for city will be your average of your gas mileage,

Here's my list

Top 5 Worst:
CT 2004 (here's to hoping there are Dane Cook fans here)
Boeing 747
Ford f-150 towing that Boeing
A nuclear submarine
My honda in 4 inches of wet snow

Top 5 best:
Mountain bike
A pair of sturdy legs
Skateboard
Getting driven around by a friend (indirectly getting me infinite mpg)
Reaching level 1 super saiyan and being able to teleport

I think this list is more accurate.

RE: 2008 Top 10 least (and most) fuel efficient cars
 

Nuclear power is actually very efficient. You get alot of power out of the nuclear material.

RE: 2008 Top 10 least (and most) fuel efficient cars
 

I should have seen that coming :(

RE: 2008 Top 10 least (and most) fuel efficient cars
 

yep like my pathfinder was said to get like 17mpg, but in reality it gets about 14-15 highway
