Sedans are already very efficient when it come to fuel consumption, but which ones have the highest mpg? More and more sedans have hybrid versions and more and more sedans are becoming increasingly fuel efficient. Sedans don’t have to be your grandparent’s Cutlass Supreme or Buick LeSabre. They can be sporty, stylish and above all—fuel efficient. With gas prices fluctuating and our planet in peril, driving more fuel efficient cars is the right thing to do. Whether it’s a Camry, Altima or Pruis Hybrid, you can’t lose!
Not only will this innovative hybrid give you unparalleled fuel economy, but your karma will be in great standing because the Prius only emits 4.0 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually. Compare that to an already fuel efficient Toyota Camry’s 7.3 metric tons.

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.
