So, you want to get 100 miles per gallon of gasoline?  Just buy one of these bad boys…

Sleek, futuristic looking, highly efficient, and insanely expensive:

Alternatively, you can look to the Japanese who were pursuing efficient engines before it was vogue.  As a result, they’ve got years of a headstart on American automakers who wrongly believed that bigger SUVs were better.  The Japanese “minicars” get 47 miles per gallon!

Not to be outdone, General Motors is looking to introduce mini cars to the American market.  These get up to 50 mpg:

Last but certainly not least on our mini car parade is the official “Mini”, as in, that’s the brand name, the Mini Cooper.  These little cars get up to 35 mpg on the highway:
