This is our list of cars which offer not just great fuel economy but also great performance. Please click the links for pictures and more details
on the cars in our selection.
Our basic rule of thumb on this is that a car must reach 62 Mph in under 10 seconds to have acceptable performance, and achieve over 45+ MPG
in the combined fuel figure category. It helps if the car looks good as well of course , but then beauty is always in the eye of the beholder.
If you have an idea of a car with Great MPG and performance please email and it will be considered for the list.
