On May 19th, the Obama Administration announced a mandatory average fuel economy threshold of 35.5 for all new cars by 2016. Fair enough. But you can actually buy such a vehicle today, so why wait? According to CleanTech Blog, six new cars meet these official guidelines already: Ford Fusion Hybrid, Mercury Milan Hybrid, Toyota Prius, Honda Insight, Honda Civic Hybrid, and the Smart ForTwo.

In fact, however, eleven new vehicles already surpass the 35.5 threshold, at least according to the True MPG figures compiled by www.fueleconomy.gov. Here’s how they rank, review wise.
