What was the most fuel-efficient (mass-produced, internal combustion-powered, highway-legal, non-gray-market, four-wheeled, et freakin' cetera) new car available in the United States during the 1980s?

These chargers are just finding their footing in the United States, including three in the New York area, part of a growing Electrify America (EA) network that offers two free years of charging to EV6 and Ioniq5 buyers. For my own recent test, a mere 150-kW EA charger at a Target in New Jersey had to suffice. The Hyundai Ioniq5.

GM will leapfrog Toyota and Honda by providing an electric car to the masses by the end of next year. Honda has probably sold more Civics in a year than the combined total of all 18 of those GM models.
