Hybrid Car PerformanceThe most often quoted performance measure for the hybrid cars is the MPG, which measures how much miles your hybrid car can make with a gallon of gasoline. Luckily, there is an independent source for measuring the MPG performance, the Environmental Protection Agency. For their annual fuel economy guide, they measure each new car model that is available for purchase in the United States. Below are the leading MPG measures from 2007 Fuel Economy Guide for each of the car classes. Note that not all of the cars are hybrids.
