In 1991, most drivers paid $1 a gallon for gasoline. Twenty years later, filling up a car or truck costs at least $3 per gallon, which is putting a strain on bank accounts. Federal and state tax incentives mixed with dealer incentives are making it possible for many drivers to afford a fuel-efficient vehicle.
We've compiled a list of 2011's most fuel-efficient vehicles. Each week, we will highlight a different car that will save consumers on their gas prices. This week, we present #9 most fuel-efficient car.
The Ford Fusion Hybrid was the 2010 North American Car of the Year. Fuel efficiency and features like the Sync system make the car stand out from the crowd. Prices start at $28,240.
Annual CO2 emissions (tons): 4.8
Annual fuel cost: $1,137
Mileage: 39 mpg
It's actually nearing $4 a gallon here in L.A; it was just $3.99 last time I filled up and at times it goes higher. 39 mpg is really good for a traditional car considering the Prius gets 50 mpg.
