I got a company car that gets shop maintenance and all fuel covered by the company, so my interest dropped. I did get the most fuel efficient vehicle on the menu, which was the Mazda CX-5. It gets pathetic fuel economy; less than my 1996 Subaru Legacy. Don't know why it's reviewed so well, because it's a basic gutless AWD crossover with the accompanying middling handling and less usable space than a Prius.

Next car is likely a minivan. That's usually a drop in efficiency, but I'll look for the best MPG. Most likely is a Toyota Sienna hybrid. 36 MPG isn't bad. Heck, way better than the pathetic Mazda CX-5 that shills claim is such a great vehicle.
