Many folks have remarked how the smart just isn’t large enough to be practical for their everyday needs. And that’s a good thing. Thankfully there are options to choose from - including a car as small and efficient as the smart for those who don’t require anything larger.

But what other choices are there? What other affordable vehicles offer excellent fuel efficiency?

I’ll be reviewing some of these cars over the coming weeks/months. I will not be covering any hybrids - only 100% internal combustion gasoline models.

At the top of the list will be the Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic, followed by others… vehicles that are in the top 15% with regards to fuel efficiency. These vehicles all get a minimum of 46 mpg on the highway with their most efficient engine/transmission combination.
