Top 10 Most Fuel Efficient SUVs
Fuel efficiency is on every car shopper's mind right now. While SUVs have historically been known as gas guzzlers, there are a few that actually get decent gas mileage.
Edmunds.com this week gathered a list of the top 10 SUVs (including crossovers) with the best combined gas mileage using the EPA's miles-per-gallon rating for city and highway travel.
The Ford Escape Hybrid leads the pack with a combined MPG of 32. Check out the rest of the list and make sure these are vehicles you're considering if shopping for an SUV.
