Default One thing about fuel efficiency...

As your car's MPGs increase, the actual savings become smaller and smaller. That common miles per gallon figure is a ratio, so it's not additive. Consider a hundred-mile drive: you'd use five gallons in a 20 MPG car, four with 25 MPG, three with 33 mpg, and two at 50 MPG. To save another gallon and accomplish the trip with one, you have to double the MPGs to 100.

For this reason, once my car choice reaches 50 MPG, I stop thinking about further efficiency, and more about factors like range and performance and utility.
