What is the most gas efficient non-hybrid car on the market today? ?

Just curious. I thought it might be an interesting trivia question (or piece of information to know if I am chosen to play on Jeopardy or something.) Plus, I wouldn’t mind getting a car some time!

Dear Katie,
My best guess is the Cooper Mini—It is one of the
smallest. The VolksWagen Rabbit is also easy
on gas (two door, of course). The Harley-Davidson
gives about fifty miles to the gallon but tends to
be breezy. The new Smart Car is supposed to be
"smart" for fuel economy, but I don’t know. Much
of gas consumption is in weight of vehicle and
gear ratio. I had a Rambler American with overdrive
that gave me great mileage. The overdrive did help
a lot.. You might call some dealers in your aria and
ask around. Honda makes a small Tudor (two door)
that should be good, also Audi. They should both
be efficient. Hope this helps.
*****Most people in this country don’t want to drive
some little putt-putt if they can get something bigger
and more comfortable. I also tend to think that
"trucks are for Girls" (and smart Guys).
