Cars these days make more power and yet still get better gas mileage than ever before, but if you don’t want to go electric, a hybrid is a great half-step. You get truly incredible gas mileage without having to worry about the range limitations of an EV, and some even offer the ability to charge so you can drive short distances without using any gas.
If you’re in the market for a fuel-efficient new car, it’s hard to go wrong with a hybrid, but which ones actually get the best gas mileage? The EPA mileage ratings are one thing, but what does that look like in the real world? Recently, our friends over at Consumer Reports compiled a list of the cars that got the best fuel economy in its real-world tests. So which hybrid comes out on top? Let’s take a look.
