Best Gas Mileage Cars - Not The Ones You Thought?
The best gas mileage cars aren’t just the usual suspects. Toyota’s hybrid Prius might be the first thing that pops into your mind, but the others may not come to mind as easily.
With the price of oil remaining unstable, gas prices will continue to be unstable. This probably means the cost of gas will continue to rise rather than stabilize or even drop.
The best gas mileage cars are invariably the newest models, and few of us are driving brand new vehicles. Buying a new car because it saves money on gas defeats the purpose.
The $21,100 Toyota Prius is the current top performer, with a Combined EPA estimate of 42 mpg. In addition to the Prius it Toyota’s Corolla, the Honda Civic hybrid, and the Mini Cooper. Surprisingly, the Toyota Altima is on the Top 10 list.
It isn’t surprising that Toyota’s Prius is the top gas mileage car, however some at the top of the list actually are quite surprising.
Few people are predicting that oil will stabilize anytime soon. That means that the price of gas probably won’t stabilize anytime soon either. The one benefit, if it can be called a benefit, is that people are a lot more cognizant of their energy and gas consumption.
Even though gas prices aren’t likely to drop in the near term, there are steps we can take now. If we can’t drive the best gas mileage car, we can make the care we do drive more efficient by keeping the tires inflated properly, making sure they’re aligned, and keeping our engines properly tuned.
