Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most fuel-efficient option on this list?
The Ford Maverick (hybrid) — around 46 mpg (UK) / 38 mpg (US) combined, among 18 model lines we rank.
Why do pickups use more fuel than cars?
They are heavier and less aerodynamic, and usually carry larger engines to tow and haul. Efficient engines, hybrid systems and 2-wheel-drive versions narrow the gap.
Does the ranking include towing or payload?
No. Economy figures are EPA test results with no load. Towing or carrying heavy loads can cut real-world mpg substantially.
