They’re tiny and they’re sporty. They are also unbelievably fuel efficient. You don’t need a hybrid to save on fuel and you don’t need a Ferrari to look cool. MINI Cooper’s are fun, sporty, sleek and fuel efficient. None of these get fewer than 32 mpg on the highway and no less than 25 mpg in the city. In addition to saving money on fuel, these coupes afford you the peace of mind knowing that you are doing your part to lower greenhouse gasses like carbon dioxide. If everyone drove a coupe or hatchback, the skies would be blue and the air we breathe would be much cleaner. So forget about fueling up every other day and experience the thrills of driving!
The all-new Honda Insight features the lowest sticker price of any hybrid on the market as well as several nifty gadgets like the Eco Guide display that lets you earn five digital plants with leaves that grow if you drive green enough. Go green and save green with the Honda Insight.

All miles-per-gallon (mpg) figures are from the 2008/2009 Fuel Economy Guide, which is published by the Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Department of Energy. Fuel Economy Guide data is derived from vehicle testing done at the EPA's National Vehicle and Fuel Emissions Laboratory in Ann Arbor, Mich., and by vehicle manufacturers that submit their own test data to the EPA. All vehicles are tested in the same way so you can compare the results when choosing a vehicle type or class. The mpg ratings appear on window stickers on all new cars and light trucks prior to sale.
