Now, the luxury automakers are upping the ante in the race for a greener environment by putting out some respectable models of their own. Here are the ten most fuel efficient vehicles that the luxury automakers are currently offering.

1. Mercedes-Benz Bluetec-This diesel ran version of the Mercedes has the torque of a V-8 and the best gas mileage of any other luxury vehicle. At 23 city and 32 highway mpg, it is very impressive, not only for a luxury vehicle but for a vehicle in general.

2. Audi TT 2.0TT-The Audi barely missed first place. With 22 city and 30 highway mpg, it should be very proud of its second place standing.
