    Everyone:

    I came across this today:

    Auto Guide has recently made a top ten cheapest 40 mpg car list, according to which the 2013 Toyota Prius c claims the second place, costing just $300 more than the number one cheapest high mpg Honda Insight that has a price tag of $19,390.

    The rest of the list still has Toyota written all over, as the third place was taken by the 2013 Toyota Prius ($24,995), 7th place was occupied by the Toyota Camry ($26,935), the Toyota Prius v ($27,445) ended on 8th and there is even a Lexus CT 200h ($32,945) in 10th place.

    ...and that $300 nets you a lot more MPG. My uncle owns a couple of the old Insights and it's a great car, but I just don't get the new 4 door version and its, relatively speaking, suboptimal gas mileage.

    They need to make a list of 50 MPG cars that cost under $20k... :p

    Yeah, agreed on 50 list. I think they started with 40 because it's still an anomaly in the land of car making. 40 is the new 30.

    Yes, 4o IS the new 30, in so many ways!

    We can toss the Ford C-Max from the list (at number 6) and move everyone below up one. By now, everyone knows the C-Max won't get 40mpg.

    Current fuelly average is 39.2: Ford C-Max MPG Reports | Fuelly
    I'd guess that would get up to 40 by mid-fall.
