Volkswagen carries the gas mileage goal to an even more extreme point with the XL1, now destined for production. At 261 mpg, the XL1 uses a combination of diesel and hybrid, as well as a highly aerodynamic body and very low weight.
Audi's A3 e-tron splits the difference, scoring about 157 mpg on the European cycle with a turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine and an electric hybrid drive system.
Unfortunately, it's not yet clear if any of these cars will make it to the U.S.
You'll find all of this and more in today's car news headlines from around the High Gear Media network right here at Motor Authority.
