To determine which are the cleanest cars around, Forbes looked at Environmental Protection Agency scores for air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. The EPA rates vehicles on a scale of 0-10, with 10 being the best.

Not surprisingly, a pair of hybrids lead the way. The Toyota Prius and the Honda Civic hybrid each rated perfect 10s in greenhouse emissions and 9.5s for air pollution.

Here’s the list:

Ford Focus

Hyundai Elantra

Kia Spectra

Pontiac G5

Nissan Altima

Mazda 3

Chevrolet Cobalt

Honda Civic CNG

Toyota Camry Hybrid

Ford Escape Hybrid

Nissan Altima Hybrid

Honda Civic Hybrid

Toyota Prius Hybrid
