The Environmental Protection Agency published its official gas mileage numbers for the 2010 model year, including the leaders in each segment. Guess who won overall? Yeah, it was no contest, and no surprise: the 2010 Toyota Prius, with its 51 city/48 highway rating beat all the competition.
The other thing to note about the list is that out of ten cars with top fuel economy, only one is not a hybrid, the Smart ForTwo. If you take a gander at the top two cars in each category at FuelEconomy.gov, the fuel type varies a bit more, with Audi and Volkswagen scoring well with their diesel wagons.
- Toyota Prius Hybrid: 51/48
- Ford Fusion Hybrid: 41/36
- Honda Civic Hybrid: 40/45
- Honda Insight Hybrid: 40/43
- Lexus 250h Hybrid: 35/34
- Nissan Altima Hybrid: 35/33
- Ford Escape Hybrid: 34/31
- Smart ForTwo: 33/41
- Toyota Camry Hybrid: 33/34
- Lexus RX450h Hybrid: 32/28
