How this list is made
- The top 50 are listed; 50 more have a published EPA efficiency figure. Narrow the list with the filters, or browse the whole catalog.
- Shorter bar, less energy per mile. Bars are measured from zero against the top value; the dark tick marks the average of all 100 ranked here.
- Scores are John’s, shown only where he has scored a car, and they don’t affect the order. How John scores.
- Each car’s page lists the source of every figure and when it was last checked.
