Aside from heavy duty trucks, which don't have to display their fuel economy ratings, we've rounded up a list of the least-efficient vehicles currently offered by the American brands, based on their EPA combined fuel economy ratings, for those of you who are concerned things aren't going to change for a long time to come.

Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing: 15 mpg

With its 668 hp supercharged V8, the high-performance Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing sedan is the most powerful vehicle Caddy has ever sold, but its efficiency is a throwback to the boulevardiers the brand sold in the 1970s.

Dodge Challenger/Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody: 15 mpg

Fat tires, compromised aerodynamics and a 797 hp supercharged V8 conspire to make Dodge's ultimate muscle cars drink fuel about as quickly as they accelerate.

Ford F-150 Raptor: 15 mpg

The 450 hp 3.5-liter turbocharged V6 in the F-150 Raptor may be from Ford's EcoBoost family of engines, but the monster truck is not economical at the pump.

Jeep Grand Wagoneer: 15 mpg

The rebooted Grand Wagoneer may not be available with wood paneling, but the fuel economy provided by its 6.4-liter V8 is very old fashioned.

Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392: 14 mpg

Be careful what you wish for. Jeep Wrangler fans had been asking the brand to offer a V8-powered model for years and finally got one last year with a 470 hp V8 that takes the already inefficient SUV down to new lows.

Ford Mustang Shelby GT500: 14 mpg

The 760 hp Mustang Shelby GT500 is the most powerful Ford ever and burns gas as well as it burns rubber.
