Findlay Toyota's are stingy on gas, generous on price
August 1, 2008
Car and Driver recently named three Toyota vehicles to its "Stingiest Sippers: 10 most fuel-efficient vehicles in the US" list.
The Prius was dubbed "the gold standard for fuel economy." The car was also praised by Car and Driver for its "impressively low price, and the unique, futuristic lines that house a large amount of usable space."
In our economic times, buyers are paying even more attention to fuel economy. The Prius boasts 48 miles per gallon in the city, 45 on the highway and 46 combined. Findlay Toyota in Henderson, Nev. currently manages a constant stream of Prius sales.
The Toyota Camry Hybrid was also included in Car and Driver's 10 Stingiest Sippers list. The publication noted that, "The Toyota Camry Hybrid is good at moving passengers economically and without drama....Hybridization did nothing to impact the virtues that make the Camry an award-winning, family-hauling appliance: laudable road manners, quiet and comfortable operation and a highly competent overall experience."
The Camry Hybrid was called stingy because it rates miles per gallon as 33 in the city, 34 on the highway and 34 combined.
The third stingiest Toyota is the Yaris. The magazine reports that, "It's a happy day for consumers when one of the most-fuel-efficient vehicles sold is also one of the cheapest....Despite a short wheelbase, the Yaris can transport deceptively large quantities of cargo."
The EPA rates the Yaris' miles per gallon at 29 in the city, 36 on the highway and 32 combined. The Yaris base MSRP is $12,210.
