If you're looking at pollution, you aren't going to get much better than a Prius unless you go to an EV.

Hi Daox,
Wow, I thought
this guy was doing about average, 5 miles in traffic.
Anyway, I noticed the OP's reply. It wouldn't matter if you could go EV mode for a hundred miles in a hybrid (non plugin). All the electrical energy comes from burning gasoline. And I agree, the Prius is about the lowest emission auto you can buy.
