In the following article I will try to give you an overview on some of the most fuel-efficient non-hybrid/electric cars. These cars may not be stealing the headlines, but are very popular with the mass market.
Soaring gas prices are hitting every vehicle owner' pockets pretty hard. That's the reason why fuel efficiency of a car is one of the main aspects people are paying attention to when looking to buy a new car. Getting a hybrid or an electric car is one option, because you can get greater mileage with them as opposed to cars that run on gasoline, but they are more expensive and more high-maintenance. For people that don't want to pay extra money for these green technology vehicles, there are various non-hybrid and non-electric cars that can still rack up a respectable mileage. I've decided to talk about three of the most fuel-efficient cars and explain why they are the best choice for you if your main goal is to save some money on gas.
Ford has always managed to produce some very fuel efficient cars. The Ford Fiesta is an excellent proof that a sedan can get great mileage without burning too much gas. It's also available as a 5-door hatchback, with a larger cargo capacity. It's powered by a 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine, which along with its relatively small size and lightweight body, provides for a pretty good fuel economy of 29 mpg for city driving, and 39 mpg for highway driving. You could say that there is a consensus among experts that the Fiesta is one of the best cars in its class when it comes to fuel consumption.
The Scon iQ is a pretty tiny car that's mainly intended for urban driving. City driving burns a lot of fuel, so if you don't plan to go on too many out-of-town trips, this is a great practical choice for you. It comes with a 1.3-liter engine, producing 94 hp and 89 lb-ft of torque. The amazing mileage estimate of 36 mpg/city, and 37 mpg/highway is pretty appealing and it can easily make you forget about large gas-guzzling sedans.
The 2012 Kia Rio, which is available as a sedan or as a five-door hatchback, is a very affordable family vehicle that is both relatively spacious and fuel efficient. The 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine generates 138 horsepowers along with 123 lb-ft of torque. It features a 6-speed manual transmission and it consumes 31 mpg while driving in the city and 40 mpg for highway driving.
Apart from these three cars, there are many more out there that are both cheaper and have a greater fuel efficiency than the ones powered by electric motors, so buying such a car, paired with some practical driving habits can lead to having more money to spend on other things, rather than a large portion of your budget going for gas.
