2014 Most Fuel Efficient Cars
Are you planning on car shopping soon? FuelEconomy.gov is a great resource for finding a fuel efficient car. There are lots of options for fuel efficient cars nowadays, between electric cars, hybrids, or small compact cars like a Toyota Yaris or Honda Fit.
A car with good gas mileage is not only more cost efficient, but it's also much better for the environment. Highway vehicles release about 1.5 billion metric tons of greenhouse gases (GHGs) into the atmosphere each year, primarily in the form of carbon dioxide. This is a major contributor to climate change.
Here are the most fuel efficient cars of 2014, excluding electric cars:
