Forbes has a compiled a list of cars that get great
cas mileage. The lists includes several diesel cars including
the Mercedes-Benz E-Class luxury sedan and the Volkswagen Jetta Diesel.
Hybrids like the Ford Escabe Hybrid (pictured on right) and Toyota Prius Hybrid also
made Forbes' list.
Forbes says that there are three ways to get good mileage:
"You can get that good fuel economy with a hybrid or a diesel, or
you can do it the old-fashioned way: with small car with a small
engine, such as the Volkswagen Golf. The diesel Golf gets 38/46
city/highway mpg and is the most fuel-efficient hatchback sold in
the U.S., but the gas-powered Golf still gets an impressive 24/31
city/highway mpg."
