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.
The S2000 is an aggressive machine that will fulfill the lustful desires of the most speedy demons on the road but it can also get up to 25 mpg highway. This is a respectable number in the class of high performance sports cars and shouldn't be overlooked. The power combined with fuel economy is achieved with its 16-valve DOHC VTEC engine. And as an added bonus the S2000 has earned a low-emission-vehicle rating (LEV-2) from the California Air Resources Board.
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.
The Drive-By-Wire throttle system give the Honda Fit fast responding electronics instead of the traditional throttle cable producing a better response in addition to the increased fuel economy. It also aids in the overall result of being a great car to drive and adds another incentive for those who are looking to save a few bucks by being low maintenance.
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.
Then there's the Honda FCX Clarity. This is the ultimate retaliation against ridiculous gas prices! This zero emission hydrogen powered fuel cell vehicle has been called the car of the future that is available right now! It estimated to get up to 77 mpg.
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!
