When it comes time to purchase a new vehicle, your wallet and bank account will appreciate you buying a fuel-efficient used car. Not only is buying a used car a smart decision financially, but you will save even more money by getting one that passes a few gas stations. Sure, hybrids are some of the most fuel-efficient vehicles on the road right now, but let’s look at some gasoline-powered vehicles that will be a great fit for any frugal driver.
Mazda3: Since 2012, the Mazda3 has been powered by a 2.0 liter Skyactiv four-cylinder engine that propels this midsize sedan with 155 horsepower. The Mazda3, whether in hatchback or sedan, is a great fuel-efficient used car (30 mpg city and 41 mpg highway). Add all of to the fact that it’s just a fun car to drive, and this is one sporty little sedan you should consider.
Ford Fiesta: The subcompact Ford Fiesta also is available in hatchback and sedan editions. Since 2011, the Fiesta has come with a 1.6 liter four-cylinder engine. The automatic six-speed transmission gives drivers an impressive 28 mpg city and 38 mpg highway. Fiesta, of course, is Spanish for party, which is accurate since this is one used fuel-efficient car that will make your commute enjoyable.
Toyota Prius: Ask just about anybody to name a great used fuel-efficient car, and the answer is likely to be the Toyota Prius – and for good reason. Since 2010, the car has come with a 1.8 liter, four cylinder engine that delivers about 51 mpg city and 48 mpg highway. The Prius also comes with an impressive amount of interior space for a small car.
