10. Toyota Prius

MPG City 51 / Hwy 48

The Toyota Prius offers great fuel economy at the cost of speed and performance. The tiny 1.8 liter four-cylinder engine and electric motor combine to make 134 horsepower. The Prius has sluggish acceleration, making highway merging or passing a chore. When driven in the most efficient manner, the Prius gets an estimated 51 mpg city and 48 mpg highway, making it one of the best hybrid vehicles available. The suspension does a good job of giving you a smooth ride, but aggressive driving can cause understeer. The Prius is great for long commutes or leisurely drives, shining brightest when not under heavy loads. As long as gas mileage is your only concern, the Prius stands tall above the others, only beaten by fully electric vehicles.
