Fuel economy becomes main factor in car buying
If gas prices soar, choosing fuel thrifty cars matters. A 15,000 mile year at 20 mpg costs about 750. A switch to 30 mpg drops gas to 500, saving 250 yearly. In three years, savings reach 7,750 with 30 mpg and higher resale. A 40 mpg subcompact halves fuel cost, boosting three year savings to 1,125 while cutting purchase price. The EPA guide and Consumer Reports offer key data on economy and reliability.
