Ready to move your family out of that
gas-guzzling SUV or minivan? The good news is that you can find
a range of wonderful family sedans that get you there without breaking
the bank ... the very best gas mileage family sedans deliver more
than 30 highway miles per gallon ... one in particular delivers
a whole lot more ...
It's of little surprise that the 2007 Toyota
Prius' walks away with the title in the all-important Best Gas Mileage
Family Sedan category. While there's a solid showing from automakers
across the board in this category, we need to see the numbers come
up dramatically in the middle of the pack. This is only a start.
The figures from both domestics and imports have room for plenty
of improvement.
