Get A Car With a Great Look AND Fuel Economy

Gas prices are high! No one will argue with that fact. Even if you're not in the market for a new car many can't help but think about the fact that the "little" cars on the road are making their owners very happy when it comes to the amount of cash dropped into the gas pump every week. But what many don't think about is that it's not only the typical conservative cars that can offer a break when it comes to money spent on fuel! There are some pretty hot cars out there that offer pretty good gas mileage. Honda offers several in its current line up.

Check out the Honda S2000. It's a sports car. Yes, I know. But it has surprisingly great fuel efficiency for a high performance vehicle! It's been estimated to receive up to 25 mpg with its 16-valve DOHC VTEC engine. (And as an added bonus, the California Air Resources Board classified it as a low-emission-vehicle with a LEV-2 rating!)

We can go straight from the S2000 to the Honda Fit. The Honda Fit is not a sports car. It's an astoundingly effifient and economical car that is more than fun to drive! It gets 28 city/34 highway mpg. There's not much else to say when it comes to fuel economy. The car is able to achieve such high economical rates due to the combination of the 109 hp 1.5-liter, 16-valve, SOHC VTEC engine and the specialized throttle system.

With the Honda Fit's Drive-By-Wire throttle system fast responding electronics take the place of the traditional throttle cable. The system produces a better response, better fuel economy and great driveability. It also has the added benefits of requiring minimal adjustment and low maintenance.It's just one more way Honda is incorporating the public's need for economy into their vehicles.

The Honda Element is another option from Honda that offers efficient use of fuel. This is the vehicle everyone is talking about. It was designed for heave use by active individuals and it's is one of the most versatile vehicles ever to hit the market. So why wouldn't the makers of this versatile feat of engineering take into account the high gas prices and make it fuel efficient as well? They did! The Element gets up to 26 mpg.

And if you're REALLY sick of the gas prices...check out the Honda FCX Clarity. The FCX Clarity is a zero emission hydrogen powered fuel cell sedan. It's been pronounced the sedan of the future, but ironically, you can buy it today. The EPA mileage estimates range from 67 highway to 77 city.

So while we all know that it's possible to get a vehicle that will be so fuel efficient you'll notice the difference in your pocket book after a few trips to the gas station, there are a few options out there that just might surprise you! Honda has a full line up of efficient vehicles to choose from!
