Best New & Used Vehicles That Get Great Gas Mileage

Looking for a vehicle that will save you at the pump? Start your quest for fuel efficiency right here.

Ah, the never-ending chase for fuel economy…

Sick and tired of owning a gas-guzzler? There has never been a better time to keep fuel-efficiency in mind in mind when searching for a new or used car or truck. When you consider that the cost of living is rising, wages are staying flat, and the fact that fuel prices are still relatively high with sharp fluctuations happening almost weekly (not mention when there’s a hurricane), exploring your options for a ride that gets great gas mileage makes good sense.

First, you should know there are three main categories of fuel-efficient cars and trucks today: electric, hybrid (gas and electric), and old school (gas only). Check out our list of top vehicles in each category, and see how they compare with other cars when it comes to fuel efficiency.


Best Electric Vehicles (EVs)

Electric-only vehicles require a charging station, usually installed in a garage. While EVs don’t require any gas whatsoever, you will see your power bill go up to keep them “fueled.”

  • Nissan Leaf
    MPGe: 124 city / 99 highway
  • BMW i3
    MPGe: 124 city / 102 highway
  • Kia Soul EV
    MPGe: 124 city / 93 highway
  • Chevrolet Bolt
    MPGe: 128 city / 110 highway

What is MPGe?

MPGe, which stands for “miles per gallon of gasoline-equivalent,” is an energy efficiency metric that was introduced by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 2010 to compare the amount of energy consumed by alternative fuel vehicles to that of traditional gas-powered cars.

Most Fuel Efficient Cars

If dealing with the added complexities of a gas/hybrid vehicle isn’t your bag, take a look at the following gas sipping options.

While most people assume an import will get them the best gas mileage, one car on this list is actually American-made: the Chevrolet Cruze. When equipped with a diesel motor, the Cruze can get up to 48 mpg highway. Better hurry though, as Chevrolet is “pulling the plug” on the Cruze at the end of 2019. Of course, there are plenty of other gas-only cars that get 40+ mpg on the highway:

  • Chevrolet Cruze
    MPG: 31 city / 48 highway
  • Honda Civic
    MPG: 32 city / 42 highway
  • Toyota Corolla
    MPG: 30 city / 42 highway
  • Kia Forte
    MPG: 31 city / 41 highway
  • Hyundai Elantra
    MPG: 32 city / 40 highway

Best Hybrid Cars & SUVs

For those looking for a larger 4-door car that is still fuel efficient but not strictly battery powered, look no further than these highly capable gas/electric hybrid vehicles:

  • Honda Insight
    MPG: 55 city / 49 highway
  • Hyundai Ioniq
    MPG: 57 city / 59 highway
  • Toyota Prius
    MPG: 54 city / 50 highway
  • Toyota Camry Hybrid
    MPG: 51 city / 53 highway
  • Honda Accord Hybrid EX
    MPG: 48 city / 48 highway
  • Kia Niro
    MPG: 52 city / 49 highway
  • Toyota Avalon Hybrid XLE
    MPG: 43 city / 44 highway
  • Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid
    MPG: 49 city / 43 highway
  • Jaguar XF/XE Diesel
    MPG: 32 city / 42 highway

Honda Accord Hybrid EX

Most Fuel Efficient Trucks

Fuel efficiency doesn’t have to start and stop with cars. While not as efficient as smaller hybrid cars and SUVs, there are plenty of pickup trucks that also use technology to increase their fuel economy.

  • Chevrolet Colorado/GMC Canyon
    MPG: 20 city / 30 highway
    Towing capacity: Up to 7,000 lbs.
  • Ford Ranger
    MPG: 21 city / 26 highway
    Towing capacity: Up to 7,000 lbs.
  • Honda Ridgeline
    MPG: 19 city / 26 highway
    Towing capacity: Up to 5,000 lbs.
  • Ford F150
    MPG: 23 to 36 gal
    Towing capacity: Up to 8,000 lbs.
  • Chevrolet Silverado / GMC Sierra
    MPG: 20 city / 23 highway
    Towing capacity: Up to 9,900 lbs.
  • RAM 1500
    MPG: 20 city / 25 highway
    Towing capacity: Up to 7,520 lbs.

Ford F150
