Which Cars Are Efficient, Fun?

10 New Cars Offer Fun, Miles Per Gallon

POSTED: 10:44 am PDT July 28, 2008

Thanks to gas prices that have spent most of the summer hovering around $4 per gallon for regular, more Americans are looking at "stay-cations" than vacations.

A new study shows that fewer Americans are taking to the road and recent auto sales numbers show people are looking for smaller, more fuel-efficient cars.

Usually, getting more miles per tank means giving up the high-speed gas-guzzler in the garage. However, for people who love their high-horsepower sports cars, more cars are available that give people the fun they crave with the gas mileage their wallets need.

J.D. Power compiled a new list of 10 cars that get better than expected gas mileage, while still giving drivers a boost of power behind the wheel.

  • 2008 Audi TT 2.0T
  • 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt Sport
  • 2008 Honda Fit Sport
  • 2008 Mazda 3i Touring Sport Edition
  • 2008 Mini Cooper Clubman
  • 2008 Nissan Altima
  • 2008 Nissan Sentra SE-R
  • 2008 Pontiac G5 GT
  • 2008 Saturn Astra XR
  • 2009 Volkswagen Jetta TDI
