Will Drive: High-Mileage, Low-Emission Cars


As gas prices rise and we grow used to the idea that we may never see a cheap tankful again, fuel-efficient cars are performing better than ever. No longer the rough-handling pint-size vehicles of yesteryear, new models offer high levels of comfort, performance, luxury and style.  Auto manufacturers have made substantial progress in their efforts to boost fuel economy with lighter, more aerodynamic designs and improved tires, engines and transmissions.

The Civic Hybrid is a high-mileage, low-emissions car that can get 45 mpg on the highway. Proving that conventional gas models can achieve excellent mileage.
