A lot of money can be saved by driving a car with great mileage. Dependency on foreign oil means that the price of gas is prone to fluctuate based on supply and demand. Another benefit of driving a greener car is saving the environment; the ozone layer is being slowly depleted by all the gasses our vehicles emit into the atmosphere. You may think that these green cars cost a fortune but they actually don’t. Here is a list of a few cars that are not only efficient but also surprisingly affordable.

The most well known hybrid of all times is the Toyota Prius; you can spot one quite easily due to its unique shape. It runs on an electric engine with 134 hp and also an additional four cylinder 1.8 traditional engine. There are three different driving modes the driver can select from; Eco, Power and EV. A bit of power is sacrificed when you opt for the efficient Eco Mode. The steering is operated electrically. Pricing starts around $24k.

Small cars are great at navigating the narrow city streets and easier to park and the Civic is no different. The hybrid version is powered by both a four cylinder engine that works together with an electric motor. The vehicle saves gas by turning off the traditional motor when it’s not being used. The Civic Hybrid qualifies as an Advanced Technology Partial Zero Emission vehicle due to its low emissions and comes with a fifteen year or 150k mile warranty on parts related to the emissions. This compact vehicle is priced to sell at around twenty four thousand bucks.

If you thought the Fiesta was a hit, the Super Fuel Economy package increases mileage. When you hit the freeway this ride can hit almost forty miles per gallon! Those are sweet numbers that are sure to save you plenty of bucks.. Ford Motor’s intuitive Sync system can be installed which allows for seamless Bluetooth integration and the ability to control various functions by using your voice. That way you don’t have to fiddle with buttons or use your cell when driving (which is illegal in many states). Ford Palm Springs has a large selection of vehicles for sale in Palm Springs and Riverside.

If you are considering a green vehicle then any of the cars above would make a good choice. Not only are these cars efficient, they are also quite reasonably priced!
