Mini Cooper Hybrid Engine Why can't car makers today design a better MPG, like the old 93-95 honda HB VX?
The 93-95 HONDA HB VX goes about 43-50 miles per gallon. This car is not hybrid and has a decent horse power. Car is bigger than mini cooper or Smart small 2 seater car, yet it saves more gas. It beats most hybrid cars, and almost as Prius (50mpg).
Why not base the design on that engine and then add a hybrid capability... wouldn't that be like 70 or more mpg.
Am I missing something???
If my science teacher is correct, oil companies buy all of the high MPG designs. That way they sell more gas. Later, when we are running out, they will either sell the designs or start making cars and will be able to line their pockets even more. This is all at the expense of everyone else in the world. This is just one theory though.

Top 7 Cars With Best Gas Mileage
When you are on the look out for a new (or even a new one) one of the most important things most people look for now are high MPG vehicles. With gas prices at an all time high and no sign of a drop anytime soon (if ever) cars with best gas mileage are at the top of the list of priorities.
I did some extensive research on the internet to find the top 7 cars with best gas mileage. The first thing that I noticed was that nearly every survey I found gave differing MPG readings, some of these differences where only 1 or 2 MPG but others where as much as 10 MPG. In the list of high MPG vehicles below I have used the most consistent of the research readings.
(Top 7 Cars with Best Gas Mileage)
7) Honda Fit. This is one of many mini sized cars now available on the American market. Although small it is well thought out and gives you some reasonable interior space. Driving around the city you should expect to get 30 MPG and this rises to 36 on the highway.
6) Mini Cooper. This is a fun car to drive and is really catching on on the American market. It has achieved cult status in many European countries where it has long been a favourite. It will give you 32 around town and 36 on the open road.
5) Toyota Camry Hybrid. With its 2.4 liter engine you can still expect to get a good 36 MPG for city driving and a little better on longer trips. This is fast becoming a best seller in America.
4) Honda Civic. Very popular in the smaller car range. Surprisingly roomy interior, great handling and excellent safety ratings. This car will give you 36 MPG around the city and a great 44 MPG on the highway.
3) Honda Civic Hybrid. If you like the Civic then you will love the Hybrid. Same excellent build and safety qualities but with a fantastic 48 MPG rising to over 50 MPG on those highway drives, making this one of the most popular high MPG vehicles.
2) Toyota Prius. Very affordably priced mid-sized car. With its 1.5 liter engine and practical styling this is a nice roomy car. The Prius will give you a whopping 60 MPG around town but is actually less economic on the highway, giving about 51 MPG.
1) Honda Insight. One of the smaller high MPG vehicles but still one of the top cars with best gas mileage. The Insight delivers a great 60 MPG around the city and a fantastic 66 or over on the longer drives, keeping it on the top of the list of cars with best gas mileage.
These then are the top 7 cars with beat gas mileage according to the most popular and accurate surveys that I found. There are many more high MPG vehicles being produced now, but if you are not in the market for a new car you may want to think about how to get more MPG for your own car. Visit my website to find out how to get more MPG and make some real gas mileage improvements.
