Mitsubishi Ends Honda’s 8-Year Reign on Green Car List

Environmental Leader -- The Mitsubishi i-MIEV has unseated the Honda Civic Natural Gas from its throne and become the first electric car in 12 years to top environmental rankings from the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy.

This is the first time in eight years that the Civic Natural Gas hasn’t topped the ACEEE “Greenest” list, which have been going for 14 years. The Honda Civic Natural Gas did improve its fuel economy this year, and ties for second place with the Nissan Leaf. They are followed by the Toyota Prius, the Honda Insight, and the Smart ForTwo.

With a combined city and highway fuel economy of 112 miles per gallon equivalent, the i-MIEV outperforms all other vehicles sold in the U.S., ACEEE says. It earned a score of 58, the highest since the rankings began.

Here is the press release. Which includes top 12 cars, top cars in group and "red" car list!

Unfortunately there are 3 different news headlines, but none are as good as the actual press release.
