In an interesting move for fuel economy-conscious shoppers, used car mega retailer Carmax recently launched an inventory search feature on its website that allows shoppers to sort available vehicles by their fuel economy.
The search engine will either sort cars by highest city or highway fuel economy. Obviously, sorting will favor the Toyota Prius , but a brief search of cars over 40 highway miles per gallon revealed several available Prius, Civic Hybrid and VW TDI vehicles.
Given the simplicity of such as system, we wouldn’t be surprised to see other used car search engines introducing similar sorting in the future.
