Honda Clarity Fuel Cell vehicle ready for HyFIVE in Europe

The Honda Clarity Fuel Cell is officially fresh off the boat on the other side of the Pond. Honda has delivered its first production fuel-cell vehicle to Europe as part of the Hydrogen for Innovative Vehicles (HyFIVE) demonstration project that's being administered by the European Union, the automaker said Tuesday. The first European drivers of the Clarity Fuel Cell will be in London and Copenhagen. The EU is putting on the HyFIVE project to help promote fuel-cell vehicle adoption as a way to reduce emissions. Honda is one of five automakers that will deploy 185 fuel-cell vehicles to prospective drivers in Austria, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Sweden, and the UK. Honda plans to start selling the Clarity Fuel Cell in the US by the end of the year and is expected to offer it both for sale at about $60,000, and for lease at $369 a month. That leasing pricetag is the new magic number when it comes to production fuel-cell vehicles in the States, with the Toyota Mirai sedan also at around that level. Honda said last month that the 2017 model-year version will have a full-tank (of hydrogen) range of 366 miles. That gives the Clarity Fuel Cell the longest range for any production zero-emissions vehicle in the US, beating out the 2016 Tesla Model S P100D (315 miles) and 2017 Mirai (312 miles). Additionally, Honda says that two-thirds of its fleet will be "electrified" by 2030, implying that the Clarity Fuel Cell and its electric and PHEV siblings are just one part of a far broader effort to pull bring the automaker's fleetwide emissions down.

Best gas mileage cars

If you're looking for the cars with the best gas mileage, your best bets are hybrids and EVs, and with the latter, then it's a case of energy efficiency considering the lack of gasoline. But maybe you don't like the idea of an electrified vehicle. Maybe you're concerned about more complicated powertrains or new technologies. Maybe you're put off by the extra up-front cost of those vehicles. So what's the best way to get good fuel economy, without batteries? Well, we've pulled together the 10 most fuel-efficient cars that only run on gasoline. Best Gas Mileage Cars for 2024: 2021 Mitsubishi Mirage and Mirage G4 View 27 Photos Mitsubishi Mirage: 39 mpg combined When you can't be electrified, you need to achieve high efficiency with other strategies. In the case of the Mitsubishi Mirage, those come from low weight (just 2,084 pounds) and low power (just 78 horsepower). That's how the Mirage manages to top the list at 39 mpg combined. In the city it gets 36 mpg, and on the highway it manages 43, both of which are tops in this list, too. That just applies to the hatchback, though. The sedan would technically be second on the list with 37 mpg combined, but we're generally lumping together body styles. The other big draw of the Mirage is that it's incredibly cheap and has a long warranty. The base hatchback starts at $18,110 with destination, making it one of the cheapest cars on the road. And it has a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. So if you're looking for maximum frugality above literally all else, it's hard to top the Mirage. Honda Civic: 36 mpg combined While the Mirage wins technically, it makes many compromises to achieve its price and fuel economy. The rest of the list provides far better balancing of economy with being quality modern automobiles. And coming in second is the Honda Civic sedan (pictured at the top of this article) in EX trim with the turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder and CVT. This variant manages 33 mpg in the city, 42 on the highway and 36 combined. Going to the Touring trim drops fuel economy to 34 combined, and the 2.0-liter non-turbo engine gets between 33 and 35. The most efficient hatchback gets 35 mpg combined. The hatch is even available with a manual transmission, but it's also the least efficient (31 mpg). Then there's the Si and Type R, but with much more power and handling upgrades, they're basically different models. Regardless, almost every version of the Civic is quite frugal.
