8 Most Fuel Efficient Cars

With oil hitting $110 per barrel and gas approaching $4 per gallon in many parts of the country, fuel efficiency is more important than ever.  I think it’s safe to say the days of soccer moms toting the kids around in massive SUVs lucky to get 15 miles per gallon are rapidly coming to a close.  Who can afford it?  And even if you could, why would you want to?  Not surprisingly, 5 of the 8 most fuel efficient cars are hybrids.
