This Is The Most Efficient Gasoline-Powered New Car You Can Buy

When we think of the words "fuel efficiency,” terms like "hybrid,” "plug-in hybrid,” and "electric vehicle” all typically come to mind. But modern gasoline-engined vehicles are also more efficient than ever, some more so than others. So which is the most efficient? That would be the Mitsubishi Mirage.
The Japanese automaker has confirmed its subcompact sedan, sold as the Mirage G4, and hatchback are the most fuel-efficient gasoline-engined vehicles in America. The EPA has awarded the Mirage hatchback with a rating of 36/43 mpg city/highway. The Mirage G4 returns a slightly lower 35/41 mpg city/highway.The government agency confirmed that the 1.2-liter three-cylinder-equipped Mirage has an ownership cost of $900 annually based on 45 percent highway and 55 percent city driving, current fuel prices, and a maximum of 15,000 miles yearly. Pricing for the Mirage hatchback starts at $13,795 while the sedan is slightly higher at $14,395. Mitsubishi claims the sedan offers the most rear and total legroom in its class, while both body styles offer a lot of features for the money. These include a standard 7.0-inch touchscreen with Bluetooth, a rearview camera, steering wheel controls, and a USB port located in the center console. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity are optional.
