rpmfreaks The Prius may be the first and most popular hybrid vehicle out there, but Honda's Civic Hybrid can go toe to toe with Toyota's model. The Hybrid version of their perenially popular Civic can get up to 40 miles per gallon in the city and 45 MPG on the highway. The Civic Hybrid has plenty of interior space and a full spectrum of safety features, making it an almost equal alternative to the market leading Prius. And if you want to save a little money and avoid paying extra for the hybrid model, the regular, classic Civic still gets amazing mileage. In fact the regular engine Civic is one of the most fuel efficient non hybrids on the market, getting a very healthy 26 miles per gallon in the city and 34 miles per gallon on the highway for the manual version, and a still great 25 MPGs city and 36 MPGS highway for the automatic model. So if you're looking for great fuel efficiency without hybrid prices, the Honda Civic might be the car you're looking for, but if you want the extra MPGs that a Hybrid has to offer, The Honda Civic Hybrid is worth weighing against the more popular Prius.
