4. Honda Ridgeline (19/26)

The most efficient version of the 2017 Honda Ridgeline is the base trim, which features front-wheel drive and a 3.5-liter V6 engine that makes 280 horsepower. A six-speed automatic transmission also comes standard in the Ridgeline. This combination is good for EPA ratings of 19 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway. The Honda Ridgeline is expensive for the compact truck class, with a base price of $29,475 that puts it right up there with several full-size trucks.
