Re: Efficient cars



Both of these vehicles were reviewed in Consumer Reports within the
last year.

This discussion is drifting away from physics. Perhaps is should move
to a different list?

The Honda Insight is a hybrid that gets better mileage than the Prius, but
it is only a 2-seater. I've heard good things about both the Insight and
the Prius (KPFK Car Show, which had been very critical of electrics in the
past), and their costs are not that high - in the low $20K range, which is
pretty typical for a new car these days.

Certain models of the Honda Civic are about the most fuel efficient and
lowest emission gasoline powered cars on the market (they also scored well
in the recent round of crash tests).
