Mid-sizes: Toyota Prius
3 of 8
Surprise, surprise ... Toyota's iconic hybrid is the class leader with 3.7/4.0 city-highway fuel economy. The higher highway number is due to the Prius's use of electric power at low city speeds. Despite more than a decade on the market, the Prius, which starts just under $29,000, remains a statement car. On your bank statement, that's $798 a year for fuel.
You might also want to look at Volkswagen's redesigned Jetta TDI clean diesel, which with a six-speed manual transmission, delivers 6.7/4.6 city-highway. The downside is the Jetta diesel's starting price, pushing $24,000. Volkswagen's Golf diesel wagon and corporate sibling Audi A3 TDI hatchback are also tops in the wagon category, with city-highway of 6.7/4.6 and 6.7/4.7 respectively.
