With gasoline prices soaring in the past couple of weeks, you may be considering trading in your vehicle for something that is more fuel-efficient. We are going to be giving you a list of vehicles that we recommend that will help you to save money on gasoline.
Best Vehicles To Buy In Order To Save Money On Gas
We will be going over the different types of vehicles from traditional gasoline-powered vehicles to electric vehicles. We want to help you to save money on fueling up your vehicle.
Gasoline Powered Vehicles:
These typically have combustion engines, this is a great option for someone who is looking to go from a gas-guzzling SUV or Truck to a smaller sedan.
The Civic is known for its reliability and dependability, generations of Honda owners know how long these vehicles last! As long as you take care of any maintenance items on time you can easily get almost 200k from a Civic.
This is a more affordable gas sipper option for those who love domestic-made vehicles. This is a pretty inexpensive sedan to maintain and has a high MPG rating. For taller drivers, this provides a comfortable ride.
The Camry is a great family-friendly mid-sized sedan. Toyota has done a great job with equipping their newer vehicles with Toyota Safety Sense; this package typically comes with a pre-collision system with vehicle and pedestrian detection, lane departure alert, dynamic radar cruise control, and automatic high beams.
Hybrid:
These vehicles typically have a gasoline-powered engine; owners of these vehicles do not have to worry about plugins in their vehicle or have to worry about range anxiety. Hybrids are a great introduction for those interested in dipping their toe in the electrification of vehicles.
With an average mpg of 47 miles per gallon and not having to worry about plugging in or charging your vehicle you will end up saving a hefty amount of money at the pump. You can get an average of 615 highway miles before having to fuel up.
This even gets better mpg than its competitor the Honda Accord Hybrid; 51 city/ 53 highway, you can get about 816 miles without having to fill up. This is a great option if you travel a lot for work or you are looking for a fuel-efficient company vehicle.
Plug-in Hybrid:
They are perfect vehicles for those who enjoy taking long road trips, without having fear or range anxieties. A Plug-In hybrid is a great commuter vehicle, where you are able to use electricity for your typical commute, and for longer drives, the vehicle behaves like a hybrid and starts to run on gasoline.
The Toyota Prius Prime typically has a driving range of 25 miles on electric, then behaves like a typical hybrid vehicle. This is a great option if you have a charging station at your work, this way you can charge up and save on driving costs. This vehicle gets a total of 640-mile driving range.
The Fusion Energi gets a 26-mile battery range and then just like the Prius Prime, behaves like a typical hybrid vehicle. This vehicle gets a total of 610 miles of driving range. If you are looking to max out your fuel efficiency, we recommend the Toyota Prius Prime. But if you aren’t a fan of the styling of the Toyota, then take a look at the Ford Fusion Energi.
Electric:
Driving an electric vehicle costs 3X less and now with the increase of gasoline prices about 4X driving around a vehicle with a combustion engine. There are plenty of public charging stations that do not charge for vehicle charging; with that being said you can fully charge your electric vehicle for free. We recommend checking out the Top 3 Apps To Find EV Public Chargers, this will help you in finding the best charging station closest to your location.
If you are looking for a sporty electric vehicle, then the Ford Mustang Mach-E fits the bill! You can get between 260-300 miles of battery range, this depends on the trim level and what drivetrain you decide on choosing. If you have access to an electric charging station at home and/or at work, switching to a fully electric vehicle will be a breeze.
The Model 3 is one of the most popular electric vehicles on the market, if you opt for the long-range version of the Model 3; you can get 358 miles out of your Tesla. It will cost drivers about $13 dollars to fully charge the Model 3, in comparison to filling up a 2019 Chevrolet Cruze that has a 13.7-gallon fuel tank with the current gas price at $4.39; doing the math it costs $60.14. It costs Tesla drivers 4.62x less to fully charge their Model 3 in comparison to filling up a Chevrolet Cruze.
