Save On Gas


I know. I know. You are actually looking for a vehicle that has a good fuel economy. Who would like to spend so much on gas when you could actually do more things with your money, right? Well, Cars.com gives us an idea on what are the best cars and vehicles when it comes to fuel economy.

Before I proceed with the list, let me just do inform you that the cars and vehicles mentioned here have been broken down into the best vehicles per segment. That way, I presume Cars.com have made it easier for interested parties to choose. The data has been broken down into (1) the name of the vehicle, (2) what type of gas does it run on, (3) its miles per gallon on city driving and on highway driving, (4) and its price, well, MSRP to be exact.
