Greenest Cars for all of us

Even if we all cant find Hybrid cars, there are alternatives as Mother Earth Living's article "Top Picks for Fuel-efficient Cars" points out.
The posting points you to Mother Earth News, a magazine that I frequent a lot, December/January issue's "Affordable Cars, Fantastic Fuel Economy". Links for both are available below.
I found that;
"Perhaps most exciting are three new cars that are small but practical, fun but not funky, and fuel-efficient without high price tags: the Honda Fit, the Nissan Versa and the Toyota Yaris. Their prices range from about $12,000 to $16,000; their miles per gallon stats reach into the high 30s. Then there are the longtime favorites for reliability and fuel economy — the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla — which are as good as ever, if not better. Ditto for the best-selling hybrid Toyota Prius; in its wake automakers are improving hybrids and developing new models. Honda put new spark into its Civic Hybrid, and Toyota hybridized the best-selling family car in America, the Camry. Both have earned rave reviews." A very good start.
Of course article reviews all three cars plus wealth of othe information like;

six other especially notable fuel-efficient cars:

Toyota Prius
Honda Insight
Mazda 3 i Sport
Honda Civic GX
Ford Focus SE
Chevy Aveo5 LS
