NOTE: MPG = miles per gallon. 1. The green score runs
on a scale from 0 to 100. The top vehicle this year scored a 57, and the
worst gas-guzzler scored 14. The score is based on automakers' test
results for fuel economy and emissions as reported to the EPA, as well as
an estimate of pollution from vehicle manufacturing, from the production
and distribution of fuel, and from vehicle tailpipes. It also factors in
air pollution. Source: Web: American Council for an
Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE).
