How to weather the coming gas crisis in style

2008 Volkswagen Eos

What’s surprising here is not that there’s a Volkswagen on the list. The company has good fuel economy in many of its vehicles. What is surprising is that it has a car good looking enough to be on our list of Stylin’ Fuel Savers: The $28,990 Eos convertible. With a unique hard-top mechanism that includes a sunroof for when you only want a little sun, the Eos also boasts the same drivetrain as the Audi TT: a 200 horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with a six-speed automated manual transmission. It also scores 21 mpg in the city, 29 on the highway and 24 combined, all in one very stylish package.
