Best mileage cars are all mini or subcompact cars with very small engines. Some of them have clever diesel engines while others have 3 or 4 cylinder petrol engines. The best mileage cars do not weigh very much and tend to have narrow tires providing little rolling resistance.
These economical cars can return gas mileage figures in excess of 60 mpg compared to some large V8 engines which return less than 20 mpg. This means that these efficient vehicles will cost you less than a third of the fuel costs of some V8's. In addition, running costs will of course be a fraction of the cost too.
Good gas mileage cars will no doubt save you a lot of money and these days they are also surprisingly rewarding to drive. Many of them don't feel as small as they actually are. They often handle very well and have the feel of a larger car. You can also get very good fuel mileage from some midsize cars which have plenty of room to seat 4 passengers in comfort and can fit 5 passengers if required. Although not as fuel efficient as the the best micro cars, such as the Smart Car, these midsize cars return very respectable gas mileage.
The best mileage cars are also very inexpensive (except for hybrids and electric cars), however they don't have a cheap image. In fact, the best mileage cars have a green, intelligent and cool image, especially with younger people living in cities. Their size of course also offers many advantages in crowded city streets.
Overall theres a lot going for the best mileage cars.
