Top 10 Cheapest 40 MPG Cars

9. Ford Fusion Hybrid $27,995

Ford is putting a lot of effort into its hybrid powertrain strategy, and the Fusion is the second most expensive vehicle on our list, costing $27,995. Despite the higher price-tag, the Fusion enjoys an EPA rating of 47 mpg combined. Ford accomplishes this impressive fuel mileage thanks to the pairing of a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with an electric motor and a 7.6kWh battery which helps the Fusion Hybrid get a total of 188 hp. Ford makes it all come-together with its eCVT. Ford liked this setup so much, that it’s put to use again in the more affordable compact people hauler, the C-Max hybrid.
