Considerations When Buying a Fuel-Efficient Car

2/22/2018

0 Comments

 
Picture
​According to the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration, the average American drives 13,476 miles each year. This is why a fuel-efficient car is the primary choice for families who want to save up on the cost of buying gas to use the money for other things. There are a lot of factors you have to take account before making the purchase however, and here are some points you would need to consider.
Your needs
It’s important to consider what you’ll be using your car for before making a decision. Will you use it to go to work or to take your children to school? Aside from that, the number of people in your family also determines what type of car do you want.

Size
The bigger the car the bigger the fuel consumption is because it would take more energy to get the car moving, so you’d want your car to be as small as possible in weight.

Engine
The engine plays a big role in determining how efficient the fuel consumption will be. A car with lower horsepower and less cylinders are usually more fuel efficient.

Find the MPG
How efficient the fuel usage of your car is determined by the unit miles per gallon (mpg), and you’d want it to be as low as possible. Fortunately, it’s relatively easy to find out the fuel consumption of a car, you can just look for it on the internet or ask the car dealer personally.

Go hybrid
Hybrid cars have a low fuel consumption compared to the average gas-powered vehicles because aside from using fuel, hybrid cars also uses electricity to keep it running. However, take note that hybrid cars are also more expensive than usual cars.

Get diesel
Diesel cars are powered by compression-ignition engines that are more fuel efficient than their gasoline counterparts. Diesel also provides more energy than gas per gallon.

Reduce gas consuming options
Choosing options such as four-wheel drive (4WD), automatic transmission, or rooftop luggage racks will only increase your car’s fuel consumption.

Use newer models

With advancement in technology, newer models are more fuel efficient because of better engines. This doesn’t mean used cars are worse, because their value doesn’t depreciate as fast as new cars.

Utilize low-resistance tires
The friction of your tires with the ground surprisingly affects fuel-consumption significantly, so opt for low-resistance tires to further save more gas money.
