The math behind fuel economy

January 7th, 2011 by

Word on the street: gas prices in 2011 will hover above $3 per gallon most of the year – and could climb as high a $4. And as we all know, money spent on gas seems to add up fast.

So, what can you do to keep cash in your pocket? Buy a Honda.

Consider this: the difference between a car that gets 20 miles per gallon and a car that gets 30 miles per gallon is substantial. Each year, you would save a remarkable $718 on gasoline (if you drive about 15,000 miles and spend about $2.87 per gallon). Over the span of five years, that’s an extra $3,500 in your pocket!

Still not convinced? Head over to www.fueleconomy.com to see how Hondas stack up against other makes and models. The Web site’s Find and Compare Cars feature makes it easy to check gas mileage estimates for cars built between 1984 and 2011.
