Best Gas Saving Cars

In today’s market, taking the time to research the best gas saving cars before buying is the clever way of saving money.

Getting great mileage can make a huge difference in your spending and in reducing the number of trips you have to make to the gas station.

The environmental Protection Agency does compile a report each year to help educate car buyers on which vehicles have better fuel economy. You can visit fueleconomy.gov to review the latest figures.

Bear in mind what the lower mpg can mean in real money in your pocket

The difference between a low efficiency (20 mpg) and a high one (46 mpg) can be over $1000 per year!

That’s for average mileage. If you drive over 12000 miles a year it will be higher.
So, top of the class are:

Toyota Pruis Hybrid Electrical Vehicle (HEV) 48 mpg around town 45 mpg Highway
Honda Civic Hybrid (HEV) 40 mpg around town 45 mpg Highway
Nissan Altima Hybrid (HEV) 35 mpg around town 33 mpg Highway
Ford Escape Hybrid
Mazda Tribute Hybrid (HEV) 34 mpg around town 30 mpg Highway
Mercury Mariner Hybrid
Toyoto Camry Hybrid (HEV) 33 mpg around town 34 mpg Highway
Toyoto Yaris (Manual) (Regular) 29 mpg around town 36 mpg Highway
Toyoto Yaris (Auto) (Regular) 29 mpg around town 45 mpg Highway
Toyota Corolla (Manual) (Regular) 28 mpg around town 45 mpg Highway
Honda Fit (Manual) (Regular) 28 mpg around town 45 mpg Highway

Compare this with the worst gas mileage:

The Lamborghini Murcielago only gets 8 mpg around town and 13 mpg on the highway.

Still if you can afford to buy one of these you’re probably not counting the cost at the gas pump.
