Kelley Blue Book just released it's picks for top 10 Green Cars for 2010 and despite recent recalls and troubles plaguing Toyota, the Prius made the list eclipsing all other cars on the list in miles per gallon.

Here is the list:

- 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid: 22 mpg (21 city, 22 highway)

- 2010 Toyota Highlander Hybrid: 26 mpg (27 city, 25 highway)

- 2010 BMW 335d: 27 mpg (23 city, 36 highway)

- 2010 Honda Fit: 31 mpg (28 city, 35 highway)

- 2010 Ford Escape Hybrid: 32 mpg (34 city, 31 highway)

- 2010 MINI Cooper: 32 mpg (28 city, 37 highway)

- 2010 Volkswagen Golf TDI: 34 mpg (30 city, 42 highway)

- 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid: 39 mpg (41 city, 36 highway)

- 2010 Honda Insight: 41 mpg (40 city, 43 highway)

- 2010 Toyota Prius: 50 mpg (51 city, 48 highway)

How did Kelley come up with the list?  According to Kelley Blue Book, "To be considered for the green Top 10, each vehicle was required to offer fuel economy and CO2 emissions superior to the bulk of vehicles in its class and at the same time provide all the safety, creature comforts and driving enjoyment that would make it pleasant to own."

Because of that, there are vehicles on the list to meet the needs of every type of user.  Considering the increases predicted in the price of gasoline and the negative effect many cars now have on the environment, maybe it's time to step up and take a closer look at a "green" vehicle to meet your needs.
