It’s no longer something new seeing people craving for green cars these days. Indeed, the choices have become numerous from just a handful a couple of years ago. However, you still need to know which cars can give you the best way to save gas. Especially right now when the demand is growing, there is a lot of need to scrutinize the next car that you’re going to park in your garage.
So to give you guys some ideas, I have listed a couple of cars that stand out when it comes to mileage and price. I selected cars from the 15,000-30,000 range, while also taking into account the drivability and comfort that they offer. So here they are and have a quick look at what they can offer and what you’re actually going to get from them.
The Honda Fit ( MPG Rating: 28 City/34 Highway) 14,000 USD
Classified as a small station wagon, the Honda Fit is considered one of the best fuel-savings cars in its class. It looks small, although it’s just one of those cars that are really big inside, so you won’t have any trouble with getting a few people at the same time. The best part about the Honda Fit is that you can extend a gallon of your gasoline to 28 miles in the city and 34 miles in the highway, respectively. Aside from that, its 109-horsepower engine isn’t a pushover either. At 14,000 dollars, it’s a solid pick from the many choices out there.
The Ford Focus (MPG Rating: 24 City/35 Highway) 14,300 USD
I can’t believe that something from Ford can go this cheap. Indeed, tough economic times have forced Ford to go green and as of late. It’s better late than not joining in the green car craze at all. Meanwhile, the Ford Focus comes in a 2.0-liter four cylinder engine, while looking like a sporty sedan that you can bring anytime and anywhere. This is arguably Ford’s most fuel-saving car in years and if you have some change to spare, this one is one great pickup.
The Chevrolet Malibu (MPG Rating: 22 City/30 Highway) 20,000 USD
So what exactly does the Chevrolet Malibu have that makes it more expensive than the Ford Focus? Well it boasts of a superb traction control, four-wheel ABS, XM satellite radio, and an automatic transmission. In addition to that, it has a 2.4-liter double overhead cam Ecotec engine that just won’t fail no matter what. It looks better than the Ford Focus, although when you compare prices, the Chevrolet Malibu seems to be quite expensive.
The Nissan Rogue (MPG Rating: 22 City/27 Highway) 19,250 USD
When you talk about crossover vehicles, a lot of people would mention that the Nisan Rogue is right up there and rightfully so. Despite of its 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, it is able to get as much as 22-27 miles from a gallon of gasoline. That’s a huge number considering how big this vehicle really is. Unlike most SUVs out there, the Nissan Rogue is easier to park. Aside from that, it can handle all kinds of weather with ease. Power-wise, the Nissan Rogue has more than enough in its tank and in fact, it can generate as much as 170-horsepower.
The Honda Civic Hybrid (MPG Rating: 40 City/45 Highway) 23,000 USD
The Honda Civic Hybrid is one serious contender when it comes to fuel mileage. One expert even said that it’s the measuring stick for all economy cars out there. At just above 20 thousand dollars, the Honda Civic Hybrid can extend your gallon of fuel from 40-45 miles. Seriously, you don’t see that kind of number everyday and what’s even surprising is that you didn’t expect the Civic to get really good.
