New Cars that Already Meet 2016 Fuel Economy Standards

Need a new ride. Gas just keeps getting more expensive.  Some cars already meet 2016 Fuel Economy Standards.  This site lists the Ford Fusion Hybrid, Mercury Milan Hybrid, Toyota Prius, Honda Insight, Honda Civic Hybrid, and the Mercedes Smart For two as vehicles that already meet those standards. More will surely be added to the list every year.

“In Europe, over 100 models can be purchased that meet the 2016 standards, thanks to the popularity of cars that are smaller, lighter weight, and often use efficient turbo diesel engines.”

Replacing a vehicle with a fuel efficient model has the biggest aggregate potential reduction in green house gas emissions at 31.4 millions of metric tons of carbon a year. Even more than Weatherizing a home (21.2), buying energy efficient appliances (11.7), or carpooling (6.5).
