gasoline prices significantly affect the design of cars in this country has seen a direct correlation between the two. When gasoline fell to $ 1.00 in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century were big SUV fuel-guzzling, a popular drug of choice, because people can afford to drive it. In today's economy, people are cars, fuel efficienct car is to make a decision. What are the most fuel-efficient cars on the road today? It is no secret that the hybrids are definitely the best fuel economy. The downside is, hybrids cost about $ 5,000 more than its gasoline counterpart.
Toyota Prius hybrid car with a price tag of $ 22K, which comes to a total mileage 47 MPG. Toyota Hybrid-5 doors, is the most economical of all the gasoline cars on the road and is a very affordable price. Prius has only a hybrid, is faster than the Corolla, uses less fuel and is about the same price.
The second most economical car on the market, competition from best-selling Toyota Prius, Honda Civic Hybrid. Toyota ran away with the hybrid market, offering better fuel economy while undercutting the price tag Honda. This is changing with the Civic Hybrid. Civic styling makes it look like a normal car and get a combined mileage of 42 mpg, which is amazing by all standards in our current knowledge of the automotive industry. Honda is comparable to the Prius and the two cars are priced very economically.
Most car's fuel consumption without the aid of an electric motor, the Smart Fortwo, egg-shaped two-seater Mercedes-group is produced. It is a pity that the most economical car with gasoline engines is so small, but may be looking to the future. Europe adopted a smaller car years ago, hoping to reduce congestion and fuel consumption. Fortwo has a combined 37 mpg that the car is very economical, but not very versatile. For those commuting to work every day, this car is the ideal fuel sipper, and the wind park will be parallel. The car was never offered in the U.S. until 2008 and can put a dent in the U.S. and Asia, selling cars.

In developing the new Versa sedan class, the task of developing innovative ways of uncompromising Entry Level see the car issue," said Carlos Tavares, Nissan President of the Americas. "We have this improvement in fuel consumption, reduce emissions and the overall modern design, while continuing to provide spacious and comfortable interior. All this for a very reasonable price."
The new Versa sedan offers a second-generation 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine, which contains a number of innovative technologies, such as the dual injectors and dual variable valve Control (CVTC System) - which makes it one of the most modern plants in the classroom. Fuel consumption is estimated at 30 mpg city, 37 mpg highway and 33 combined mpg (CVT), the improvement of five mpg compared with the 2011 Versa sedan. 2012 Nissan Versa sedan is available in three versions - S, SV and SL.

Is expected to run for about 20 minutes to the race conditions.
"We believe that EVS can be more than a car commuter. LEAF Nissan NISMO R is an example of thinking. This car is a rolling laboratory to the accelerated development of the EV power and wind systems and platforms for the development of new 'green' Motorsport Series," said Tavares.
