"Honda and Toyota made seven of the 12 vehicles listed in the top 10. The new Toyota Camry Hybrid made its debut at No. 3, with 40 mpg in the city and 38 mpg on the highway."

Here is the link to the EPA web page that shows the lists of most and least fuel efficient vehicles for 2007:

And here is a government fuel economy web page that tracks info on the 2007 Camry Hybrid:

Uh, where's the diesels?
Gasoline engines only, I guess?

You'd think the beetles and jettas would get a nod if the point if the list is just FE.

 

The list is a 2007 model year list. The only diesel certified for 2007 is a Volkswagen Toureg Diesel at combined 19 MPG. I know the Jetta diesel for 2007 hasn't. The only other diesels are MB and they have none certified yet. The Toureg is too low in MPG to make the list of best MPG.

Here is the list for 2006. Several diesels are in the top 10:

Go to this web page to check out diesels MPG. Many for 2006 are good. Only the VW Toureg Diesel for 2007 so far.

On a similar note, today's (10-17-06) Wall Street Journal regards the TCH as a barometer of U.S. consumers' attitudes about fuel economy in the wake of falling gas prices. The WSJ said, "If Toyota's Camry hybrid misses sales targets, it could be a sign President Bush is right to be worried about the resolve of Americans to end oil addiction." The articles goes on to say that the next several months will be a test, but so far hybrid sales (Prius, Escape, etc.) remain strong.

Its a good article, I wish I could post a link but I do not subscribe to the online Journal.
