There are several options like the Toyota Prius or the Smart Fortwo. If you are after vehicles with more than 30 mpg performance on the road, continue reading.

Toyota Prius

The 2008 Toyota Prius has the highest fuel economy with a distance of 46 mpg. It is unmistakably the most fuel efficient vehicle in the market. The Prius has an electric motor that starts up the car and keeps it running at low speeds. The 1.5-liter 4-cylinder engine kicks in when the vehicle needs to accelerate and when it travels at high speeds. A full tank can keep the Prius running for up to 493 miles.

Honda Civic Hybrid

The 2008 Honda Civic Hybrid runs on a 1.3-liter 4-cylinder engine that gives it a distance of 40 mpg in the city, and 45 mpg on the highway. It runs with a mileage of 42 mpg on the average. This hybrid model looks much like a gas powered vehicle, so many mistake it as such. Keen car searchers should be able to see the hybrid badge. On the other hand, it does not get quite the respectable distance of the Prius, with an estimated performance of 26 mpg city and 34 mpg highway. But at its price, you really cannot complain.

2009 Pontiac G5

This car has a mileage of 25 mpg city/37 mpg highway. Combine that, you get about 30 mpg on the average. That is what its 2.2-liter 4 cylinder engine is capable of. It has some similarities with the Chevrolet Cobalt. Both are made in the same factory, but the Pontiac G5 has its own style. The 2009 Pontiac G5 has an engine that has better fuel economy than the engine of the previous version. However, none of the improvements of this model makes it a bestseller. The Chevrolet Cobalt defeats the Pontiac G5 in terms of sales.

Chevrolet Cobalt

The Cobalt runs with a distance of 27 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the highway. Many people are switching to fuel efficient vehicles nowadays to save cost on gas. At an average of 30 mpg, no one can really complain.

Toyota Corolla

The 2009 Toyota Corolla has an average distance of 30 mpg, running with 27 mpg in the city, and 35 mpg on the highway. This is the 10th generation of the same model, and has been redesigned with better interior, but it's not larger than the previous version.

Fiat 500

Fiat 500 bestows 30/38 distance. This small, but stylish vehicle can compete with the Mini Cooper, and may even go against the likes of Vespa. The small size is an advantage in high traffic, because it allows the Fiat 500 to get into tight spaces. Nonetheless, the 101-hp engine is not the most fuel-efficient in the market.

Ford Focus SFE

According to mileage tests, the Focus can run with 28/40 mpg. It looks like a modern 21st-century small automobile with sculpted flanks and revolutionary windshield slope. The SFE model has a 2.0-liter engine and has twin-clutch 6-speed gearbox. The Ford Focus SFE is one of the stylish modern vehicles in the market today. It has all the features that are hard to overlook.
