Through advances in engine
design and hybrid technology, Toyota has a wide selection of fuel-sipping
cars and the best overall average fuel economy of any full-line
manufacturer.
With gas prices at an all-time high, Toyota has seven models with
EPA-rated highway fuel economy of 30 miles per gallon (mpg) or higher such
as the four-cylinder Camry, Camry Hybrid (counted as separate model),
Solara, Corolla, Matrix, Yaris and Prius. America's favorite hybrid, the
Toyota Prius, is the company's highest-mileage vehicle with an EPA highway
rating of 45 mpg.
With the addition of the fuel-efficient Scion xD model, the total
number increases to eight models.
Among the technological advances contributing to Toyota's fuel economy
numbers are Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive(R), variable valve timing with
intelligence (VVT-i), improvements in fuel injection technology, Toyota's
drive by wire system, transmission enhancements and lighter weight vehicle
materials.
