 One of today’s big buzz is going “Green!” Certainly the green movement
is part of the automotive landscape. The vehicles of 2009 are about 95% cleaner
than they were in the 1970’s.

Excluding electric, the following are the lowest emission vehicles. Some of these
vehicle are not currently available in the U.S marker, however, look for them to
arrive in the U.S. soon.

                Vehicle                                                                Trans.         Fuel             CO2       MPG

Volkswagen Polo Blue Motion 1.4-liter TGI                  Manual       Diesel            97        74.3

 Mini Cooper D Hatchback                                                Manual       Diesel           104       72.4

 Toyota Prius .1.5-liter VVT-i Hybrid                                 Auto.           Gas/Electric   104      65.7

 Honda Civic 1.4-liter IMA Hybrid                                     Auto.             Gas/Electric  109      61.4

Toyota Aygo 1.0-liter VVT-i 3 and 5 Door                     Manual           Gas                109       61.4

With more and more green technology becoming available, at what price will
gasoline need to go for you to consider purchasing one of these vehicles?
Knowing that that these vehicles are available if needed is good indeed!
