2013 Toyota Prius

People buy green cars for fuel efficiency, but that's often far from their only good quality.

Consumer Reports released its "Best New-Car Value" list yesterday, and there are plenty of hybrids and fuel-efficient gasoline cars on it.

The magazine named the 2014 Toyota Prius hybrid best overall automotive value.

This is the second year the Prius has topped the Consumer Reports

list--which highlights those cars the magazine feels give buyers the

best "bang for the buck"--and the hybrid also took top honors in the

Compact/Subcompact Cars category.

Regarding the decision, Consumer Reports automotive editor Rik

Paul said the Prius has the best observed fuel economy of any non

plug-in car the magazine has tested--at 44 mpg overall--and that its

five-year cost of ownership equates to just 47 cents a mile.

That explains "at 44 mpg overall--and that its five-year cost of ownership equates to just 47 cents a mile."

I thought 44mpg was a bit low.

Yes, and it also explains why it was voted number one.
