<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: The Toyota Prius gets the highest mpg
Toyota's 2010 Prius has a mileage rating of 51 mpg in the city and 48 mpg on the highway, according to hybridCARS,.com. The Prius is a hybrid car with a gasoline/electric engine equipped with a rechargeable system that stores energy. It can use a typical internal combustion engine or an electric motor.
On the Other: The Honda Civic GX is cheaper to operate per mile
The 2010 Honda Civic GX has a mileage rating of 36 miles per gallon on the highway and 24 in the city. It runs on compressed natural gas and has limited availability. Since the price of natural gas can be as low as $1 per gallon, this car can be cheaper to operate per mile.
Bottom Line
Natural gas cars may be the wave of the future and technically get more miles per dollar, but for the time being refueling can be a major problem. For now, the Toyota Prius gets the best mileage of any conventional car on the road.
