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

 

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

 

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

 

WOW! Mycivic ranks #3 in most efficient.

 

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

 

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).
