The Toyota accelerator recalls, which Yahoo! News has covered extensively, grew more extensive Tuesday, when Toyota announced that it would stop selling eight cars affected by the accelerators-that-stick problem: The 2009-2010 RAV4, 2009-2010 Corolla, 2009-2010 Matrix, 2005-2010 Avalon, certain 2007-2010 Camrys, 2010 Highlander, 2007-2010 Tundra, and the 2008-2010 Sequoia.
But even though the Camry is on the list, the Camry hybrid — which, at 34 mpg, is one of The Daily Green’s top-rated fuel efficient cars for 2010, is not affected, according to Toyota. Also unaffected are the Toyota Prius, which at 50 mpg is the top-rated fuel efficient car, and the Yaris, which gets 32 mpg.
If you are in the market for a new car, check out The Daily Green’s list of fuel-efficient cars, which could save you money on fuel, or jump straight to the most cheap green cars (including the Yaris at $12,355), all of which cost under $20,000 and get better than 30 mpg. But don’t forget to consider reliable fuel-efficient used cars, which could be the best value for your money.
