With the seemingly never-ending fuel price increases, consumers continue to search for ways to minimise monthly costs. This has translated into an influx of requests from customers looking for fuel-efficient cars, says vehicle retailer WeBuyCars.<\/p>\n

“The frequency of fuel price increases are a real pain-point for consumers, and although we currently have little control over the situation, people may be able to better manage monthly budgeting by driving a fuel-efficient vehicle and there are many to consider across several vehicle categories,” said Rikus Blomerus, general manager of marketing at WeBuyCars.<\/p>\n

Blomerus said a vehicle is considered to have good fuel efficiency when it uses around five to eight litres per 100km. A vehicle using eight to 12 litres per 100km is considered to have average consumption and anything over 12 litres per 100km is considered poor fuel efficiency.<\/p>\n

“Ultimately, it all comes down to finding the balance between your own unique vehicle needs and the most fuel-efficient companion. A fuel-efficient hatchback might not fit your current lifestyle, leading you to rather consider a fuel-efficient SUV or bakkie,” he said.<\/p>\n
