Investing in a fuel-efficient car is a great way to save money. Fuel-efficient cars are usually hybrids: cars that have both a gas engine and an electric motor. These cars have less carbon dioxide emissions, as well as a better fuel consumption.
When ranking cars to find which ones are the best, we looked for their fuel efficiency (km/l), their carbon dioxide emissions, as well as their engine’s fuel displacement. We’re also looking at affordability in the rankings, as well as the total costs for a full tank of gas.
