October 7, 2004

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Tired of high prices at the pump? One solution is to gas up less. The government is out with its latest list of which vehicles will let you do that.

The manual version of the hybrid Honda Insight led the way, getting 61 miles-per-gallon in the city and 66 on the highway.

Ford's Escape hybrid is the most fuel efficient SUV.

The Ford Ranger is the most fuel efficient pickup, while Chevy makes the most fuel efficient large sedan, the Malibu Maxx.

The automatic Dodge Ram pickup was the least fuel-efficient of all, getting 12 miles-per-gallon on the highway. Lamborghini, Ferrari and Bentley models also fared poorly.

Large trucks like the Hummer H2 and Ford Excursion weren't considered.
