In this riveting showdown brought to you by The Fast Lane Car, we witness a clash of titans between the Honda Civic and the Hyundai Elantra in a battle for MPG supremacy. The Civic, with its 2L four-cylinder engine and dual motor hybrid system, promises a respectable 200 horsepower and 49 MPG, while the Elantra steps up with a 1.6L hybrid offering 139 horsepower and an estimated 50 MPG. As the team fills up both cars with mid-grade gas, the stage is set for a high-octane face-off on the Denver 100 loop.

The Civic's unassuming exterior belies a comfortable and user-friendly interior, complete with physical buttons for climate control and a smooth driving experience. Meanwhile, the Elantra's design raises eyebrows with a catfish-like front end, but its interior shines with Apple CarPlay and lane keep assist features. The debate over wheel size ensues, with the Elantra's 17-inch wheels expected to deliver better efficiency and comfort compared to the Civic's 18-inch counterparts.

As the cars hit the highway at a steady 75 mph, the Civic edges out in fuel economy at 50.3 MPG, while the Elantra surprises with an impressive 53.6 MPG. Despite the Civic's quicker acceleration, the Elantra emerges as the clear winner in the MPG battle, offering superior fuel efficiency and cost savings over time. With price comparisons revealing the Civic's mid $20,000 starting range and the Elantra Limited hybrid topping out at just over $30,000, viewers are left to ponder which hybrid champion they would crown in this epic MPG showdown.
