With the support of Summerhill Foundation, Pollution Probe helped develop the Guide to Purchasing Fuel Efficient Vehicles.

Many vehicles that are highly fuel efficient are available in dealer showrooms today, and can accommodate a range of uses and lifestyles. But knowing what to look for and understanding what makes a vehicle more fuel efficient (or less so) may not always be obvious. This guide is a resource to help you sort through the options and find the most fuel efficient vehicle that meets your needs.
