Which Hybrids Improve Gas Mileage The Most? Lexus, Lincoln Win

The Union of Concerned Scientists thinks hybrid-electric vehicles are a good thing, because they use less gasoline.
But the savings in gas cost from that improved gas mileage varies enormously, and now the group has quantified the results.
In their annual Hybrid Scorecard this year, the UCS ranks hybrids on how much they reduce fuel consumption over comparable non-hybrid models…
In the luxury sector, both the 2011 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid and the 2011 Lexus CT 200h won high marks.
And, it turns out, those two cars--because of what they compare to--deliver even higher gas-mileage improvements…
Similarly, the UCS compared the 2011 CT 200h to a 2011 Lexus IS 250 sportssedan, the nearest comparable model in the Lexus line. The CT's combined rating of 42 mpg was 75 percent higher than the IS's 24 mpg.
