The Toyota Prius gets amazing milage. If you simply upgrade the battery pack, you can easily get 100+ MPG.

I know that there are many more cars out there around the world that get milage like this.

Anyone know any fuel efficient cars?

You can also post alternative fuel carslike the Honda FCX Fuel Cell car.

You can post pictures if you want. :)

Honda FCX:

Tesla Roadster (Full Electric): Official Site

This is a picture of mine coming out of the delievery truck:

My dad's car gets close to 40 MPG highway... I'm sure that with a few modifications it could get even more. It's a 2007 Honda Fit (aka Jazz outside the US).

So nobody here knows about a car that can compete with the Prius in terms of MPG?

No Diesels allowed.

Bingo. Until they make one with a little more style, I'd rather burn gas.

All cuz an American car can barely do 15mpg, doesn't mean that 100mpg is illegal. Gosh, the ignorance! :P

I would take a Smartcar over any hybrid. I don't like the idea of two engines in one car. The Saturn EV1 didn't need a gas engine, but they took that off the market. That was probably the best American car(in my opinion).

To my knowledge, the French Citroen C-Series gets the best gas mileage of any conventional auto, and has for many years now.

surely you cant be serious, the elise is one of the most beautiful cars i have ever seen one of the few cars that looks fast standing still then the Exige is one of the meanest looking cars on the road. Lotus would probably be in the top 3 car designers in this decade. even the espirt was pretty good looking

All you have to do is get a stock Toyota Prius.

Take it to LA and have it modified.

I heard it cost less than 2000$.

But the cost for transporting it to LA and back surely makes up for that cheap price :).

Hybrids will save you money in the short run by saving you gas money, but as they gain mileage you will spend a lot of money on maintenance and repairs. I have a 4 cylinder, 5 speed Toyota pickup, and I get great gas mileage. Plus the sucker is kinda fast.
