Unfortunately, prices remain high across the board for any environmentally friendly car. The least expensive green car currently on the American market is the 2007 Hyundai Accent GLS 4-Door with a price tag that carries a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $12,925. But, according to Yahoo’s “Top 100 Cars by Green Rating,†the Hyundai comes in at number 22 with a green rating of 75. Until you’re ready for that financial trauma, you can assuage your environmental guilt with the following ten gasoline-powered yet “green†vehicles that are all priced under $19,000.

How to Get a Green Education
(via oedb.org)
