What is the most efficient car in your opinion?

Question

Efficiency means gas consumption vs. the price you paid for the car...at least in my humble opinion...a really expensive car wouldn't be considered efficient to me...I'm talking the most bang for your buck...like a honda for example ;-)

Answer 1

Question within a question. Do you mean like if I bought a used car for $1'500 and you bought a new one for $15'000, and they both averaged 18 mpg? What does the price of the car have to do with efficiency. Efficiency of gas consumption is measured in output of work. Such like if run 10 gallons of gas though your car, 85-90% will actually be converted to power. Some will be lost in heat, some in friction, some will go unburned. Most engines fall in this category. Hydrogen cars are not new. 1967 is the earliest version I have ever read about. You see, when you separate water, H2O, Hydrogen gives off more energy than it takes to put water back together again. SO this is one time that you get more energy out of a process than you put into it. So first you separate the water, and then you put it back together. Kinda' of a never ending cycle. Well, eventually through the processes, it does need to be replenished. Remember, energy cannot be created nor destroyed, only changed. Hydrogen is beyond efficient. Why do you think they suppressed this technology for all these years. Now, with all that is going on, hydro cars are being pushed and Bush ( being the oil man that he is ) is allowing gas prices to soar all the time that he is in office so he and all his oil buddies can make billions of dollars before we make the transition to efficient cars.

Answer 3

Make the best choice for yourself. These are the most fuel-efficient cars on the road (city/highway mileage, in order of most efficient) along with their MSRP base prices:

Honda Insight $19,330
60/66 manual, 57/56 automatic

Toyota Prius $21,725
60/51 automatic

Honda Civic hybrid $22,150
49/51 automatic

Toyota Camry hybrid $25,900
40/38 automatic

Toyota Yaris $10,950
34/40 manual, 34/39 automatic

Toyota Corolla $14,105
32/41 manual, 30/38 automatic

Honda Civic $14,760
30/40 automatic, 30/38 manual

Honda Fit $13,850
33/38 manual, 31/38 automatic

Scion xA $12,780
32/37 manual, 31/38 automatic

Personally, I recommend the Toyota Prius hybrid as having the best balance between price, fuel-efficiency and size (the Honda Insight is only a 2-seater), but if you're going gas-only for a lower starting price, the Yaris and Scion xA are my favorites. The Scion comes with the most standard features, though the Honda Fit earns an honorable mention for coming with side curtain airbags standard, a very nice safety feature. The Corolla and Civic are great if you need something larger, but the wagon-like design of the Fit and xA will give you more flexibility and cargo room. The Yaris wins points for best non-hybrid fuel efficiency and the liftback model with fold-flat rear seat. The Yaris, Fit and xA get the best city mileage of the non-hybrids if you drive mainly in the city.

Answer 4

The most bang for your buck is a USED car that has a manual gearbox. A small Honda (Civic) or Toyoto (Echo) will last a long time, so they're good value used.

But your driving style has a lot to do with your gas consumption. Don't race towards red lights, don't drive during rush hour, don't idle the car unncessarily. With a manual gearbox, you also can glide for most of your trip, using virtually no gas once your car is in motion.

Answer 5

I have a Honda Civic Manual drive and i can fuel ur up for 12 dollars its an 88 so get a used car manual /stickshift

Answer 6

Honda and Toyoytas are the best buy for the buck (IMHO) . taken care of these makes are highly reliable and if you plan to keep it for a few years the resales are great. These are what I call a great car ..... maintain it and the repairs will be low .. Accords , Civics, Camry are all nice cars and have sales figures to prove it
