The Mitsubishi Mirage is the only
non-hybrid or non-electric
car to make the list, and is the most fuel efficient
gasoline - powered (
non-hybrid) vehicle available in the US today.
Okay, so some study says
gasoline prices will have to go to $ 8 a gallon in the United Sates (it's already pretty close to that in Europe, folks) before, we're assured, those hybrids and electric
cars will payoff, meaning, supposedly, the savings on
gasoline will pay for the difference in the price between a comparable
non-hybrid, or what I like to refer to as ICE age (internal combustion engine)
cars, and modern electric drive models: hybrids, plug - in hybrids, all - electric.
