Driving fun and fuel economy aren't always oxymorons

4th: 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse Coupe – $20,099 base price

The Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder appears earlier in this list, and the ability to drop the top on a car usually improves its standing in rankings. However, convertibles add weight, and weight hurts fuel economy, which is why the coupe appears higher on this list even though it has the same drivetrain.
