Edmunds.com recently reported on the growing use of four-cylinder engines, thanks to consumer concerns about fuel prices and manufacturers working to meet government fuel economy standards. In January 2007, 32% of all new vehicles sold in the U.S. had a four-cylinder engine. By April 2008, that figure had risen to 40%, and it has never dipped below that mark since early 2009. This year, it has been 45% or higher. As you'd expect, fuel economy has also improved over the same period, by 15%.
