David, DR. ROADMAP, Rizzo burst upon the traffic scene in late 1987 as the first person in Los Angeles to offer alternate routes to motorists who were sick and tired of being stuck in traffic. In 1990 he released to the world the most comprehensive guide ever written of off-freeway commuting in Southern California. Two years later he became the first traffic reporter to offer daily alternate routes in real time over the air on one of the most popular morning radio shows in Los Angeles. Dr. Roadmap continues to provide COMMUTE MANAGEMENT solutions with the 2006 release of his book, "Survive the Drive! How to Beat Freeway Traffic in Southern California."

What are the SUVs with the best gas mileage?

Host: What are the SUVs with the best gas mileage?

David Rizzo: SUVs have the same considerations as cars and trucks. In other words start with a smaller engine, four cylinder verses an eight. Hybrids in SUVs are still the mileage champs and also you want to go with a two wheel drive SUV.

Host: What are the SUVs with the best gas mileage?

David Rizzo: SUVs have the same considerations as cars and trucks. In other words start with a smaller engine, four cylinder verses an eight. Hybrids in SUVs are still the mileage champs and also you want to go with a two wheel drive SUV.

All things considered again the hybrids took the five top spots on the EPA's list of Gas Mileage Champs. Number one was the Ford Escape hybrid, 31 miles per gallon in the city, 29 on the highway and like I said remember with hybrids, they usually do better in the city than on the highway. Number two was the Mercury Mariner hybrid, also a good champ, 28, 27. 28 city, 27 highway. The Lexus RX-400, a nice popular car, top five. Toyota Highlander hybrid, also another fuel efficient SUV. The Saturn Vue is also the fifth hybrid on that list.

Now we start getting into gas SUVs and heading that list is the Jeep Compass and also Jeep Patriot, Jeeps are popular products. Chevrolet HHR, you know that old retro looking truck, also very gas thrifty, 21 city, 28 highway, again we are talking about a gas engine here. The Ford Escape and the Toyota RAV4 round out the Top-10.
