Best Hybrids For The Money Named

New and used car information site Cars.com has listed its editors' picks for the best hybrids for the money.

"Gas prices remain volatile, so as shoppers consider more fuel-efficient options, they should know how effectively hybrids deliver gas mileage for their dollar—if they do at all," said Joe Wiesenfelder, Executive Editor. "Simply because a hybrid gets great gas mileage doesn't necessarily mean you save money in the long run, because that same hybrid often comes with a higher price tag. To determine if the added expense is worth the cash, we analyzed overall cost compared to the car's efficiency."

To help green-car shoppers get the most bang for their buck, the site's writers looked at each car's average fuel economy and base sticker price. "A high mpg rating and low price provide a high efficiency-cost rating," said Wiesenfelder. "The goal of this is to get the best fuel economy for the least amount of money."

Best hybrids for the money according to the site's editors are:
