Great Fuel-Efficient Cars for Frugal Drivers

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 this 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.

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.
