Car manufacturers have always been scratching their heads with how to create the most economical and affordable car possible, and environmental controversies have only strengthened this. There are many ideas that go away from oil, but when we get to the lowest common denominator, that is, what is technically feasible, when the price is important, most concepts remain just that - a concept. That's why, instead of looking to the future, we looked to the past and the present and pulled out (also from mothballs) the most fuel-efficient cars we drive. Introducing
Increasing fuel prices combined with the recession forced us to start looking at more economy cars, which are also one of the important pieces in the Kyoto policy puzzle. If we want to achieve ecological level, which we have set ourselves, cannot be achieved without changes in the automotive industry. In this regard, they are created concepts, which are not (yet) feasible on a mass scale, as it is technology still too expensive, so we have to rely on cars that are already on the scene. And here, too, there are quite a few examples that let nature breathe easier. Let's look at them.
10. Chevrolet Sprint (1986)
You may be more likely to come across this Sprint in the junkyard than on the road, but the fact is that this model, which later became the Geo Metro, frugal even by today's standards.
Fuel consumption (combined driving): 4.9 l/100 km
9. Ford Fusion Energi (2013-2015)
Fusion, as the name itself gives away, is a merger, or rather a combination, in this case electric motor and a 2.0-liter gasoline engine. Otherwise, without the help of a gasoline engine, it does not last as long as Ford initially claimed (i.e. 100 km), but the numbers it achieves are still quite impressive.
Fuel consumption (combined driving): 4.6 l/100 km
8. Toyota Prius (2010-2015)
The Prius needs no special introduction, because it is a synonym for an economical car, to which, in addition to what is under the hood, the content also contributes bioplastics, which makes it quite easier like most vehicles. Definitely a standard bearer in the hybrid car segment.
Fuel consumption (combined driving): 4.6 l/100 km

7. Ford C-Max Energi (2013-2015)
Similar to the Fusion, this model is extremely economical, especially considering that with regenerative braking system just recycles 95% of energy, which is otherwise lost during braking, into energy that can be used for driving.
Fuel consumption (combined driving): 4.6 l/100 km
6. Toyota Prius C (2012-2015)
It's a Prius C the city version of the Prius and is basically a Toyota Yaris on hybrid drive. Because it is lighter, consumption is also lower than that of its bigger brother (4.4 vs. 4.6 l/100 km). It is one of the better choices for navigating the crowded and narrow city streets.
Fuel consumption (combined driving): 4.4 l/100 km
5. Honda Insight (2000-2006)
Insight was the first hybrid, which reached the US market. This two-seater produces electricity through the braking system and charging the battery. This is not its only contribution to economy, as the engine shuts off when the car is idling, i.e. inactive, and the beeper also sounds when fuel consumption is low. ultralight body from aluminum and plastic.
Fuel consumption (combined driving): 4.4 l/100 km
4. Cadillac ELR (2014-2015)
Although you probably didn't expect it here, Cadillac also "got its hands dirty" with green, namely with the ELR model. This is the first time it has been presented to the public in years 2009, and in 2013 he finally got out of the "bug" (read platforms) Chevrolet Volta and soon after turned into the square.
Fuel consumption (combined driving): 4.4 l/100 km
3. Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid (2012-2015)
The third generation Prius came with a pair Panasonic lithium-ion batteries, which enables faster and above all longer driving on electric drive than its predecessors.
Fuel consumption (combined driving): 4.1 l/100 km
2. Chevrolet Volt (2013-2015)
Like the Prius Plug-In, the Volt can also be charged via a regular household power sockets and is a fully electric vehicle that switches to gasoline engine to electric generator. Hybrid or not (who cares about semantics), the fact is that it's super frugal.
Fuel consumption (combined driving): 3.8 l/100 km
1. BMW i3 REx (2014)
letter "i" has become one of the most successful sales tactics, because we believe that behind the name that starts with "i" is hidden an intelligent choice. Although this is not always true, it is in the case of BMW electric vehicle i3 REx, which the Bavarians hope is the first in a series of vehicles that in electric driving mode from the tailpipe does not release any emissions.
Fuel consumption (combined driving): 2.7 l/100 km
