Top 10 Fuel Efficient SUVS and Crossovers for 2009

When searching for a new vehicle, everyone is looking for something different.  We all have different taste in car companies, styles, what features we need to have, etc.  Although, one thing we can all agree on is it should have a good gas mileage.  With a bad economy, it is only smart to think of different ways to save on our expenses.  We hate to go to the gas station, to then fill up and spend the majority of the check that we just cashed.  You no longer have to worry about this if you’re looking for a fuel efficient vehicle.

There are several different fuel efficient vehicles on the market.  Also, don’t let anyone fool you, you can get an SUV or crossover with a great gas mileage.  So, if you’re interested in either one, be sure to consider one of these great cars listed below.

Top 10 Fuel Efficient SUVs and Crossovers for 2009:

1. Mazda Tribute Hybrid – This SUV has a great gas mileage of 34/31!  That’s a great number for an SUV!
2. Ford Escape Hyrbid – This one also has a gas mileage of 34/31.
3. Mercury Mariner Hybrid - The Mariner has a gas mileage of 34/31 as well.  (Mazda, Ford, and Mercury are all the same car company with a great idea!)
4. Saturn Vue Hybrid – This SUV gets 25/23!
