Includes three diesels, a tiny 3-cyl. turbo and a battery-electric vehicle. To be honest none of these engines really impress me, except the three-cylinder engine (rated 45mpg highway) and the diesel from Chevrolet.
I can't figure out why Ford only gets 45 when Honda's 3 cylinder from 2000-06 got over 60mpg. I guess Ford tuned it for power rather than economy. (I'm not sure why they list Honda's V6 when it has known problems with the VCM design?)
Almost all of these engines are direct injection or turbocharged (or both).
