Which cars and trucks get the highest average miles-per-gallon of gasoline? We researched all major vehicles and have listed the results below. The best MPG is often found in less-expensive models. A combination of auto insurance discounts and high fuel-economy driving will always keep your rates low.
Fuel economy is critical when considering which vehicle a consumer purchases. Dozens of tests are conducted to determine the precise mpg all cars and trucks earn. A precision flow meter and other metrics and tools are utilized to determine the most accurate figures. Note: Electric and hybrid vehicles are included in the research.
Although hybrid powertrains were not popular (and seldom used) 20 years ago, for the last five years, almost every vehicle manufacturer has devoted massive financing and capital to develop non-gasoline options. Today, the Toyota Prius is no longer the only viable option. SUVs and some luxury models are also available.
The 2022 rankings below are based on EPA combined city and highway mileage results.
