Hybrids are leading in the efficient car list of 2008. Hybrid cars such Toyota Prius is making its way up as the number one most efficient car in 2008. Toyota Prius has a surprising mileage number of 46. Other cars included in the list are:

1. Nissan Altima Hybrid

2. Toyota Camry Hybrid

3. Two-wheel-drive Ford Escape Hybrid

The 2008 fuel economy figures for hybrids are about 20 percent lower than last year’s numbers, based on new testing procedures designed to better reflect real-world driving conditions, such as high-speed driving, use of air conditioning, and cold weather.

There are two cars that are non hybrids that make it to the list. They are:

1. Toyota Yaris

2. Toyota Corolla

Some say that hybrid cars are often being exaggerated for having the highest mileage number. However, some diesel powered cars such as Mercedes E320 Bluetec, was rated at 23 in the city and 32 on the highway—well below the most efficient hybrids.

Therefore, hybrid cars are still on top in the list and those who want to buy a new car should consider to get a hybrid car especially the Toyota Prius.
