Car Finance / Meet the 40 MPG Club
What's Here and What's Near in Cars That Get 40 MPG HighwayLess than a year ago, the total number of gasoline-powered cars in the U.S. that could achieve 40 miles per gallon or more on the highway was exactly one: the 2010 Smart Fortwo.
But the 40 mpg club is getting a whole lot bigger in the U.S. And it's just in time. Gasoline is regularly topping $4 per gallon in parts of California, Maine and New York. Numerous analysts are forecasting $5-per-gallon gas later this year.
Here's a detailed look at the 2011 and 2012 model-year members of the gas-powered 40 mpg highway club, including some insights into the way they achieve extreme efficiency without resorting to diesel fuel, hybrid technology or electric power. Keep in mind that these are variants or special packages found on more mainstream models. If you're shopping, make sure you zero in on the super-saver versions.

Bluetooth is a wireless technology that allows two compatible devices to communicate. In the car, it lets you operate a mobile phone "hands-free," meaning you don't have to hold the device while making or taking a call or performing such functions as accessing the phone's address book. (Of course, you have to use your hands to operate certain Bluetooth features via the vehicle's controls.)
Automotive sound systems are more complex now that portable media players, hard-disk drives and smartphones are along for the ride. But the basic radio/speaker setup hasn't drastically changed, even though more speakers and more amplifier power have been added over the years.

Sales of Ford vehicles increased 13.3 percent in June compared to the same month last year, and the gain was largely spurred by a strong showing by the carmaker’s Super Duty pickup trucks.
Responsible consumers tend to have all their affairs in order – a steady income, plenty of savings and perhaps even an investment or two on the side. While these things are all positive, they ultimately won't get you approved for an auto loan – for that, you need credit.
