2010 Toyota Prius fuel economy vs. competition
[SIZE=-1]

Fuel-efficient cars are poised for a showdown, with Ford and Toyota both recently announcing EPA-estimated fuel economy figures. For consumers, this means fresh, compelling choices in the small and family sedan categories. While we have not run our own tests on the Ford Fusion Hybrid and Toyota Prius, the estimated government figures can provide an interesting basis for comparison. (See the video on how we test fuel economy.)
For perspective, the chart below includes current, comparable models, again with EPA numbers. Looked at together, we can see fuel efficiency increasing in these mainstream vehicle segments making it easier to save at the pump.
