  You can buy a car that boasts a lean-burning engine, CVT, low-resistance tyres and a streamlined shape, but if you add spoilers and drive it like a madman, you won't see any difference. Conversely, you can squeeze 15km/L or more out of a luxury car if you know how to drive conservatively.

  But if you insist, go and look for a Honda Insight.

  then why are you asking about fuel-efficiency when you are more hard up about the looks of the car?

  Honda Fit is fit. And it will probably be fitter if fitted with CNG technology + correct engine oil.

  Drawback is, it is heard to be overpriced.

  A retrofitted CNG tank isn't worth the extra outlay or weight.

  plain diesel car is more efficiency than petrol hybrid for you info.

  if u wanna save petrol, you have to go for prius. but the extra price you pay for the hybrid system.. i guess u can use it to buy much petrol to water your plant for a few years?

  if you want fuel efficiency solely, then it is the toyota prius.
  
  even our minister for environment and water resources drives one.
  
  if you want fuel efficiency and looks still, then it's the civic hybrid. i also want a civic hybrid.
  
  i know i can save a lot w/ my tampines NTU trips on the expressway.

  Make them more affordable then I will consider.

  Otherwise, Borneo/Kah can continue to sell their cars to their employees instead.

  true. still unsure if savings in petrol & roadtax can offset the high initial price of the car. must do more calculations.

  Ya.. And you get all the green rebates until end of 2009..

  It will cost more to run that car if the government does not extend the green rebates.

  Heed my advice.. Don't buy hybrid cars in Singapore first.. The technology is still too new..

  You should start with maybe a volkswagen polo blue motion (if you rich), or Fiat Grande Punto (mid-class).

  The hybrid cars will become dirt cheap when they become widely available with many competitors in the market.

  Current competitors only Honda, Toyota (Lexus)
