         The one question that keeps protracted in car buyers mind is the direction of gasoline prices for the coming months and years ahead. Although no one can predict the future prices at the pump, but with the current recession in the works, many doubts that it will be anywhere but up. So we better find new ways to save money and save mother earth. However, can we assume that sale of fuel efficient new and used cars are tied to the price of gasoline. While the prices of gas fluctuate during a period of uncertainty, American drivers are not only using less gas but they are not taking any chances by also changing their vehicle as well.
Best 10 Fuel Efficient Cars and Trucks

1st)  Ford F-Series
2nd) Toyota Camry
3rd) Honda Accord
4rth) Toyota Corolla/Matrix
5th) Chevrolet Silverado
6th) Honda Civic
7th) Nissan Altima
8th) Dodge Ram
9th) Honda CR-V
10th) Chevrolet Malibu

            Surprisingly, Ford F-Series reclaimed the Top position again! During this period, Ford was facing high F-Series inventory resulting from unexpected drop in their sales from previous months, have geared up additional discount and promotion to ramp up sales. The result for July 2008 clearly showed that Ford has achieved its target amid lower sales. It also indicate that Americans are unfazed by the high gas prices and are not averse to high gas consumption when it comes to choosing their preferred vehicle especially when offered deals that are too good to pass up.

         The U.S. consumer love affairs with the popular trucks remain strong despite what the statistics says. On top of that, the car segment that have been anticipating higher demand due to high gas price but did not offer much incentive are not seeing any significant changes to their ranking. The result may have dampens demand for such cars instead.
