what is the cleanest car out there? (that you can buy) i am not so worried about MPG per-say but to get a clean car is more important. and i can't find a list of EPA emission leading cars.

 

Any PZEV (Partial zero emissions vehicle), AT-PZEV (Advanced Technology PZEV - like the Prius), or SULEV (super ultra low emission vehicles) rated car will be a good choice.

Of course, you could opt for an EV (no pollution at the car, only some at the power generation utility), if you can find one that meets your needs at a reasonable cost (or a bike).

Here is a link to the relevant EPA sie:

Note that the Prius gets a rating of 9.5 (pollution) / 10 (Greenhouse gas) which are the highest for any production car to date (except, perhaps EVs).

thats a good list but it doesn't state, (dumb dumb terms), which are the PZEV or USLEV. i know that i can look at the numbers but its easier on my part if the letters are there.

 

Here is short list.
