The Top Gas Guzzlers of 2007

Washington DC May 3, 2007; The AIADA newsletter reported that Forbes has compiled a list of the top gas guzzling autos available for sale in the U.S., and the results are head turning.

It seems that when it comes to the market's least fuel-efficient cars, what costs us cash at the pump also draws stares at the stoplight. Consider Ferrari's recently released 599 GTB Fiorano coupe, which has a 620-horsepower, V-12 engine. It is Ferrari's most extreme performer — basically a street-legal race car — so of course it burns fuel like a 747, getting 11 miles per gallon in the city.

The list of the least fuel-efficient 2007 model cars, according to recently released data from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), includes such other beauties as DaimlerChysler's $390,000 Maybach 62 luxury sedan and BMW's $100,000 M6 hot rod.

But not all fuel-inefficient autos were included. That's because it's early into the 2007 model year, and the EPA has not yet published fuel economy figures for all cars. For example, General Motors' notoriously wasteful Hummer H2 doesn't appear because the EPA has not yet issued the car a 2007 model ranking.
