Look at http://www.epa.gov/greenvehicles/ for the listing of the greenest vehicles within a size category (van, SUV, small car, large car, etc.), and then just ignore all of the hybrids if you don’t want to consider them.

Smart Driving for Better Fuel Economy
MINICARS MICROCARS CRASH TEST FAIL CAR CARS AUTOS New Crash Tests Demonstrate the Influence of Vehicle Size and Weight on Safety in Crashes Results Are Relevant To Fuel Economy Policies Three front-to-front crash tests, each involving a microcar or minicar into a midsize model from the same manufacturer, show how extra vehicle size and weight enhance occupant protection in collisions. These Insurance Institute for Highway Safety tests are about the physics of car crashes, which dictate that very small cars generally can’t protect people in crashes as well as bigger, heavier models. “There are good reasons people buy minicars,” says Institute president Adrian Lund. “They’re more affordable, and they use less gas. But the safety trade-offs are clear from our new tests. Equally clear are the implications when it comes to fuel economy. If automakers downsize cars so their fleets use less fuel, occupant safety will be compromised. However, there are ways to serve fuel economy and safety at the same time.” The Institute didn’t choose SUVs or pickup trucks, or even large cars, to pair with the micro and minis in the new crash tests. The choice of midsize cars reveals how much influence some extra size and weight can have on crash outcomes. The Institute chose pairs of 2009 models from Daimler, Honda, and Toyota because these automakers have micro and mini models that earn good frontal crashworthiness ratings, based on the Institute’s offset test into a deformable barrier …

Smart Driving for Better Fuel Economy
The most fuel-efficient engine in the automotive world can only do so much in saving precious gasoline. Maximizing a vehicle’s fuel mileage is not a task for the engine alone; getting the most mileage out of a vehicle also requires the driver’s efforts. Fortunately for drivers, the question on how to save gas is easy to answer. To drive more miles per gallon of gasoline, all a driver needs is an updated set of driving habits.
One of the most effective ways to save gas is to be an ideal driver. It may sound a little far-fetched, but motorists who keep their driving under control and observe the speed limit end up saving more fuel than speed demons prone to fits of road rage. Driving at a steady speed allows the engine to work in a more stable environment. This way, the engine doesn’t guzzle more fuel than it has to. Unnecessary acceleration and abrupt braking waste more gasoline than most drivers realize. Additionally, reckless driving can also hasten damage on engine and brake parts. Aside from reducing road accidents and hazards, speed limits also let you conserve fuel in the long run. Fuel economy experts say that driving over 60 mph slowly, but surely, reduces a vehicle’s gas mileage.
Another driving habit that helps in conserving fuel is avoiding excessive idling. When and after a vehicle slows down to a stop, the engine continues to take in fuel. A vehicle left idling for a long period of time uses up gallons of gasoline without covering any miles. Obviously, this translates into fuel wastage. Drivers who anticipate temporarily stopping in an area for more than a minute can save gas by turning off the engine and restarting it as needed. Of course, this is not recommended at red lights, but adopting this practice in heavy traffic can save more gas than drivers expect.
Contrary to popular belief, driving with the windows down instead of turning up the A/C on the road doesn’t make any difference in fuel economy. Other tips to save gas, on the other hand, include making sure that the vehicle’s parts are in top condition and avoiding vehicle overloading. Making these tips into driving habits surely results in less trips to the gas pumps and can significantly boost any vehicle’s miles-per-gallon rate. Motorists don’t need to buy fancy auto products marketed to improve fuel efficiency. The quickest and easiest way to driving more miles on a gallon of gas lies in simply tweaking one’s driving habits.

Your radio is locked at the same console. Depending on the model you might have two controls on the console, light and radio. Push the radio button and hold it for a second or two. Sorry radio might be labeled Lock.

Honda Losing Faith In Electric Cars
Honda: 20 Years Before Electric Cars Take Over.
In a surprise statement Honda’s chief executive has forecast that his company will need to rely on China for its battery powered electric cars.
If Honda are willing to state openly that they have doubts about the future of electric cars what is the real talk within their boardroom?
The CEO of Honda has basically conceded that the car industry as a whole now needs to have a major technology breakthrough in the development of battery powered cars.
Honda are now seeking cooperation from leading battery makers in China to hopefully provide the needed breakthrough. The Chinese government are providing huge financial and business location incentives to companies to develop that technology and break away from the present limitations of battery pack provision of power for today’s electric cars.
The longer this battery/electric technology breakthrough takes the more likely electric car manufacturers are to lose out to the Hydrogen car movement.
There are severe restrictions imposed on any owner of an electric car these days, such as: range limit of vehicle, re-charging times of batteries, availability of recharging facilities in the locality, the cost of replacing a battery pack – said to be similar in cost to an engine change, a fact frequently overlooked is the need to carry around in the car at all times a very heavy battery pack which unlike a petrol tank does not get any lighter with travel, and finally, the very hefty premium loaded onto the price of buying an electric car in the first place.
Honda’s own forecast for the battery powered electric vehicle to become commonplace on the roads is now 10-20 years, if that really is the case, and other car makers have similar thoughts, it can well be imagined there will be no mad rush to provide a nationwide infrastructure of support/charging facilities in any country.
If other major companies do agree with Honda’s forecasts, how long before government the grants/subsidies are cut back or maybe disappear altogether?
Honda have their own very successful hybrid Civic and Insight models on sale now which have very good environment credentials, are not overpriced, very frugal on fuel and low on insurance costs; these types of car today are far more in line with the average motorist’s affordability and have all the support and servicing facilities in place.
Finally, let us ask ourselves, what is the reason for producing an electric car? The need to provide an electric car originally was to provide a mode of transport that did less harm to the environment than current fossil fuelled models, fair enough, but what are we ending up with?
As no car manufacturer has produced total production costs we have no idea of these, neither do we know the full number of billions of dollars/pounds spent on battery development by car makers and governments, added to which are government grants of approx £5k per vehicle to the public as an incentive to buy an electric car.
And really finally, all that extra production of battery components have not been costed by way of carbon gas emissions produced in their manufacture, which just about brings us full circle.
