TOP 5 Most Fuel-Efficient Gasoline Cars

Do you pay close attention to fuel economy when choosing a car? Then this list is for you. It reflects the current gasoline-car market and shows that achieving fuel economy equivalent to nearly 40 mpg is no longer a problem — even without going fully electric. So which gasoline-powered cars are the most efficient? Take a look. This ranking is based on real research data.

Toyota Yaris Hybrid

The first hybrid on our list. By combining a gasoline engine with an electric motor, the Yaris Hybrid delivers up to 100 horsepower. Its average fuel consumption remains impressively low, equivalent to about 49 mpg. This makes it one of the most economical gasoline-based vehicles in its class.

Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid

A stylish car with a solid level of standard equipment. It also stands out for its performance, offering a combined output of 141 horsepower. That’s not its only strength — fuel economy is just as impressive, matching the Yaris Hybrid at roughly 49 mpg combined.

Toyota Corolla Hybrid

Another Toyota and another hybrid. The 1.8-liter engine producing 122 horsepower delivers excellent efficiency. On average, the Corolla Hybrid achieves about 47 mpg, making it a practical and economical choice for everyday driving.

Toyota Prius

A very modern and well-known vehicle that continues to prove how efficient it can be. For typical drivers who don’t regularly travel long distances, the Prius delivers an average fuel economy of around 46 mpg. It remains a benchmark for hybrid efficiency.

Kia Niro

Still unsure about Korean automakers? The Kia Niro is unlikely to disappoint. Introduced in 2016, it remains popular thanks in part to its fuel efficiency. On average, it delivers about 46 mpg combined. The Niro pairs an electric motor with a 1.6-liter gasoline engine, producing a total of 141 horsepower.

Bottom line: These models show that gasoline and hybrid vehicles can still offer outstanding fuel economy, helping drivers save money at the pump without sacrificing practicality or performance.
