Best Gas Mileage Convertible

Convertibles hold a charm unlike anything else in the automotive world ... there's nothing like driving around with the top down. It's not just about getting there ... it's about the wind in your hair and the way you got there. The best of today's high-MPG convertibles deliver respectable figures.

The remarkably fun-to-drive Mini Cooper Convertible delivers more smiles and miles per gallon than any other ragtop, stateside. Mini's four-seat go-kart uses a 1.6 liter four banger to provide plenty of ooomph as it achieves 23/32 with a five-speed manual and 22/30 with an automatic. (The 6-speed Mini Cooper S comes in at 21/28 for the stick shift and 20/29 for the automatic.)

While close, none of the other convertibles break the 30 MPG highway figure.

And if you've succumbed to the charms of the gas-slurping 10 cylinder Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder or eight cylinder Bentley Azure, you needn't worry about the poor MPG figures. At least they made it into the double digits.
