Automakers are trying to show a friendlier side to consumers. They are beginning to understand that people not only care about the environment, but they also care about how much they are paying at the pump for gas. These trends that are popping up with SUV manufactures show that things are changing. It is interesting that only a few of the SUVs that made the list were hybrids. As hybrid vehicles are catching on, it is as if SUV manufactures stood back and really paid attention. They noticed what consumers want, and they then started to produce a more fuel efficient vehicle. That should help SUV sales, even as the price of gas continues to rise.

Stay tuned for the 20 least fuel efficient SUVs.
