Does anyone have a complete list of all automobiles that get 40+ miles per gallon?

Several years ago, in the early eighties, I had a 1980 model compact car that easily got 35 mpg in the city, and 40 mpg on the highway. This was more than twenty-five years ago and this automobile was no hybrid or flex fuel car. I am looking for a comprehensive list of all vehicles that obtain at least a true 40 mpg.

  1. let me know! I need one NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  2. wow, thats great. I get 24 mpg with my taurus and i am happy its a 2002. if you had a 80 model with 40mpg that is crazy.
  3. i know that a geo metro does like 44mpg
  4. The best thing you can do is go on Goggle search.
  5. there are probly a ton but i know most all hybrid cars but to be safe just google it
  6. yeah i mean im sayyyiinn
  7. There are only 3 cars that get over 40 mpg: Honda Insight 5-speed manual Toyota Prius Variable automatic Honda Civic Hybrid Variable automatic In addition, one car gets 38 mpg. Volkswagen Diesel New Beetle/Golf/Jetta
  8. Unfortunately the highest milage cars are all old ones. We got consistantly 38 - 40 mpg in a Plymouth Voyager. V6
  9. Go to www.fueleconomy.gov This is the Federal Governments page about the mileage and greenhouse gas emmissions of all of the cars recently made in the USA. It will have all the information you need and more. And remember that little 1980 car? It was an 1800 pound little death trap that was woefully underpowered, had no safety systems and the speed limit was only 55mph. More important for mileage than Type of drivetrain is the weight of the car and rolling resistance of its tires. My little 98 escort wagon with 2.0 SOHC 4 cyl and 5 speed gets 34.5 city and close to 40 hwy. So, yes you can still buy little efficient cars today but hardly any are sold because nobody really wants them. Most people are perfectly willing to pay an extra 10-20 bucks a week to ride in comfort and security.
  10. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT CITY, HIGHWAY, OR COMBINED. HERE ARE THE TOP 10 IN THE US http://www.edmunds.com/reviews/list/top10/108467/article.html AND HERE IS AN EPA LISTING OF ALL 2006 VEHICLES http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/FEG2000.htm
