Top Ten: Highest Fuel Efficiency Cars

As the gasoline prices soar, we should once again look for the most fuel efficient car, one that saves us from the bane of gas prices and helps us keep some change in our pockets after buying such a car. The cars of 2006 stand at the forefront of fuel efficiency and by the end of this year, we should be looking forward to cars that may break new records. Perhaps the Honda Insight will continue to be an industy leader with 66 miles to the gallon on the highway and 60 in the city or maybe we will have cars that get 70 miles to the gallon.
