With gas prices soaring, many Americans are feeling the financial sting at the pump. Stops to fill up are costing anywhere between $70 to $100 on average cars, so it might be time to consider trading in for a more fuel-efficient model. If you’re thinking about trading in your gas guzzler for an economically and environmentally friendly vehicle, here are some of the best to look at! And don’t forget, Maple Federal Credit Union is here to help you out with a low-rate auto loan!
With an impressive 52 mpg, the Toyota Corolla blends the efficiency of the Prius but at a reduced price point, making it one of the most cost-effective cars on the market. Plus, the sleeker design makes the Corolla more attractive when it comes to overall appeal. While it may not be suited for larger families or hauling, it boasts a nice interior, and a cost-effective way to get around town in style!
If you’re looking to try an electric vehicle, the Ford Focus is leading the charge for cost effective and efficient use of energy from American manufactured cars, without sacrificing the fun design options that make driving a Ford exciting. It can go up to 76 miles with just 30 minutes of charging but doesn’t sacrifice acceleration either with a top speed of 84 mph. Sure an electric car is an adjustment, but when you compare gas costs, the Ford Focus is proof that change can be a good thing.
If you’re looking for something bigger that won’t break the bank at the pump, look no further than the Subaru Outback. Despite its size and solid storage space, it still gets 33 highway mpg and 28 city! That means you can enjoy all-wheel drive, or easily conquer rough terrain without worrying about a gigantic gas bill. Plus, ask any Subaru owner, these cars are built to last!
As far as hybrids go, the Toyota RAV4 is near top of the list, winning the 2021 Best Hybrid and Electric SUV for the Money Award, and boasting an impressive 41mpg in city! The cabin includes a number of luxury entertainment and Wi-Fi built ins, but unlike other gas guzzlers, you won’t need the nice interior to distract you from agony at the pump, making fuel costs a worry of the past.
Another hybrid, the Chevy Malibu Hybrid offers an incredible 46 mpg combined with a powerful Volt engine and still puts out 182 horsepower, gaining 55 mph on electric power alone. And with built in technology that turns off the gasoline engine at higher speeds, you don’t have to compromise power for cost effectiveness. With the Malibu Hybrid, fuel ups will be few and far between!
There’s no reason you should have to just accept higher gas prices as the new normal. By purchasing or trading in for any of these models, you’ll find yourself saving countless dollars in the long run with fewer fill-ups. If you’re ready for a more economic driving experience, Maple is here to help you keep the savings rolling with a low-rate auto loan, as well as simple and affordable refinancing. Let us help you leave the gas station worries behind and hit the road in a car that keeps on saving. Apply online or contact us today!
