Cheap Fuel Efficient Cars?

It’s easy to get sidetracked by the marketing blitz. There are plenty of fuel efficient cars that are neither hybrids nor new. Looking to the conventional used car market for your next vehicle purchase might be a prudent financial move. With the lack of depreciation in many hybrid models, the attractiveness of an older Honda Civic or Geo Metro - which are known to deliver 40 miles per gallon or more - has spiked like it’s closing time at the bar.

You can overlook a lot of things when gas is over four dollars a gallon and you have no alternatives.

Fixing up older fuel efficient cars just might become a national meme. The newfound interest in some of these long forgotten gems is unprecedented. When the first gas crisis hit in the 1970s, we had little to fall back on. Today we have nearly three decades of gas-stingy vehicles to choose from, nevermind the rust, dings, dents, and rips.

  • this is soooooo true. already the value of these types of vehicles is rising as is the value of some motorcycles and scooters like the vespa. it is a natural reaction to the rising prices of fuel. not everyone can take on a monthly payment to rush out and buy a new 'green' vehicle like a prius or a smart car. getting a used vehicle has always been my first choice. if i was given a brand new car, i would sell it immediately and use the money to extend the life of my older car. the newest car i have ever owned is my current daily driver a 1998 Acura Integra.
