Gas Sippers: Online Extra

More vehicles that give you more miles for your dollar.

Luxury

2008 Mercedes-Benz E320 Bluetec

All the size, luxury, power and performance of a Mercedes E-Class mid-sized luxury sedan, but with much better economy than the gas-burning versions of this car.

2008 Lexus ES350

The ES350 continues to be at the top of the fuel efficiency ladder.

SUVs

2008 Jeep Compass/Patriot

The Compass (and its cousin, the Patriot) are among the most fuel-efficient small SUVs on the market, especially in terms of their city mileage.

2008 Mercedes-Benz GL320

Diesel power allows this full-size, seven-passenger 4WD SUV to deliver 30-40 percent better economy than gas-powered equivalents.

Hybrids:

2008 Toyota Prius

The first mass-produced hybrid is still the most fuel-efficient new vehicle you can buy.

2008 Honda Civic hybrid

The Civic hybrid ranks high on the mileage scale, but not as high as the Prius — and only a few mpg higher than some of the most efficient (and non-hybrid) small cars.
