Automakers are pulling out all the stops in an effort to raise fuel economy, but Ford<\/a> may be taking the most drastic step yet – introducing a three-cylinder engine.<\/p>\n

Ford isn't the first automaker to offer a three-cylinder engine – they were last seen on Suzuki<\/a> Swifts and Chevrolet<\/a> Metros in the 1990s. However, the planned reintroduction of the engine in the U.S., likely set for next year, will come as a shock to many, as most accepted that an automaker wouldn't go lower then four cylinders in a mass production vehicle again.<\/p>\n

The three cylinders will allow Ford to achieve a higher MPG rating. In fact, it may allow the automaker to get 50 miles per gallon – unheard of for a gas-powered car.<\/p>\n

"Consumers are telling us they want to buy affordable vehicles that get many more miles per gallon," said Derrick Kuzak, global product development chief. "Our new 1-liter EcoBoost engine will give consumers looking for hybrid-like fuel economy a new, more affordable choice."<\/p>\n

Ford has been mum with the details, but it's likely that the compact Fiesta will be the recipient of the smaller engine.<\/p>\n

Drivers interested in a high-MPG vehicle may want to consider New Jersey State Auto<\/a> Auction, which offers a wide range of cars for sale<\/a> at affordable prices.
