As gas rises, most of us get real concern about gas and when is the next jump on the prices. Many company offer employees to work from home once a week which is great. It definitely help out the wallet alot. The average gas price these day range $3.75 - $4.00 dependently on where you lived. The gas price around my area is about $3.85 and if you pay cash, it's $3.75. Yes, you can persummed I am just referring to regular and not the premium, I feel sorry for the ones who required premium gas. I fill out my 14 gallon tank and it cost me $56. That's crazy.
The point leads to this, I need a more fuel efficient car that gives me more milege on the highway. I compared three smaller engine car and they are pretty fuel efficient: Honda Fit, Toyota Yaris, and the Nissan Versa. The following is the specs of each car for year 2008 with the sports model:
-----------Honda Fit: ---------------Toyota Yaris:--------------------- Nissian Versa:
HP --------1.5L I-4 109 --------------1.5L I-4 106--------------------- 1.8L I-4 122
Trans-----5-spd man w/OD (Std) ----5-spd man w/OD (Std)---------- 6-spd man w/OD (Std)
Milege------- 28 City/34 Hwy -------------29 City/ 36 Hwy -------------26 City/ 31 Hwy
ABS -----------Available ----------------Available -------------------------Available
Tank -----------10.8 gal.----------------- 11.1 gal. --------------------------13.2 gal.
Price ------------$15,270 (MSRP)-------- $13,225 (MSRP)--------------- $12,980 (MSRP)
Based on the short list comparion ,there is definitely a gas saving opportunity. I thinks these three looks pretty nice and I am sure you have seen them on the road. These car price in compare to the Hybrids is much less. I think if you are looking for a car that gets you from A to B and vice versa, these small cars are great.
