The 2003 ACEEE's Green Book ranks the 12 least polluting, most efficient vehicles -- and the 12 worst.
"Topping the 2003 greenest list is Honda's hybrid gasoline-electric Insight, followed by Honda's natural-gas-powered Civic GX and Toyota's electric RAV4 EV sport utility. Two mass-market-oriented hybrid gasoline-electric sedans, the Toyota Prius and Honda Civic Hybrid, are next in line among the greenest vehicles of 2003... 'Of greater concern are the massive SUVs and pickup trucks, which not only have high emissions and consume a lot of fuel but also are sold in large numbers.'"
