Fuel Efficient Cars

by

If you’re out shopping for fuel efficient cars, you might be feeling just a little bit squeezed right about now. Too many auto dealers are doing what too many dealers do … charging what the market may bear by adding thousands of dollars to the sticker price of the most economical models. It might not be fair, but it’s a reality. Fuel efficient cars are flying off the lots and until the factories catch up with the change, price gouging can be expected.

The good news is that we have three decades of used fuel efficient vehicles to fall back on.

When looking back at the list of the most economical vehicles of the last 25 years, you’ll see three marquees show up with the greatest consistency: Honda, Toyota, and Volkswagen. While General Motors put in a fair showing in the past, it’s been more than five years since the demise of the Saturn SL and SC dropped GM out of the top ranks of cars rated at 40 miles per gallon (MPG) or higher.

The market for used Geo Metros is red hot. These Suzuki-built econo-boxes are proven high-MPG performers, with tiny three- and four-cylinder engines that deliver excellent gas mileage. If you’re in the market for a Metro, be sure to keep an eye out for its corporate cousins, the Suzuki Swift and Pontiac Firefly … they’re essentially the same car, with different badging.

Among the newest fuel-efficient cars, the Mini Cooper stands apart from the crowd with truly superb handling. In a recent review of the Mini Cooper Clubman, we blew past the official gas mileage estimates, scoring a remarkable 44.7 MPG on the highway.

4 thoughts on “Fuel Efficient Cars”

  1. Geo Metro gets lots of economy talk. Ford Festiva should too. My 88 1.3 liter carbureted Festiva averaged 45MPG for 10 years. With camping & camera gear, once I drove 526miles before fueling on under 10 gallons. Still driving it, the Mazda engine in the Festiva is sweet.

    The Festiva has a more comfortable seating position for people in the backseat than Metro has with better head & leg room. More bulky cargo can be carried than with Metro.

  2. My wife’s 1.6 liter 2008 Hyundai Accent has turned in superior MPG. Thru a tough long winter & stop & go highway commuter traffic, my wife averaged 32+MPG. I thought Accent had more to give & my wife let me take Accent on 3 daytrips. While going over 1400, 3000, 4000, & 5500 foot mountain passes, Accent turned 41.5, 42.6, & 45.2 MPG!

  3. My wife & my cars saw $4 per gallon gas & they started giving high MPG.

    I just had new sparkplug wires & timing belt put on Festiva. The last 3 tanks over mountains have been over 50MPG! The last mountain Festiva roundtrip had a total elevation gain & loss of 10300 feet. Uncalculated ups & downs may push the total to 11000 feet.

    So change your sparkplug wires & timing belt if it has been 60,000 miles. Not only will you save your engine if a worn timing belt breaks, you could restore fine MPG.

  4. I sure wished you made your list so that it could ‘sort by’ column . that way i could find the best gas mileage of all these cars. or include a spreadsheet of them so i could sort in on my computer…..

    OH ! I just realized, i can copy paste it into a spreadsheet then manipulate the data , i.e. sort by best city mileage.
