Five fuel-efficient cars to ease the strain on your wallet

How does six bucks for a full tank of gas grab you? Granted, that tank takes you 200 miles in urban driving, vs. the 350 or so you get from most cars, but it's still about a third of the cost of running a family sedan and about half as expensive as a hybrid. The Civic GX is powered by compressed natural gas (CNG), which is clean, plentiful (piped to millions of homes and businesses) and safe (would you heat your home or cook your food with gasoline?). A new device called the PHILL even lets you fuel at home. Imagine never visiting a gas station again! The GX's shorter range and limited trunk space (that's where the cylindrical CNG tank lives) are only minor drawbacks. The GX costs about the same as a Honda or Toyota hybrid, and the owner is eligivle for all sorts of tax breaks and incentives.
