These SUVs Will Save You Money at the Pump
With gas prices rising again and possibly destined to rise for the foreseeable future, more people are considering an electric vehicle. However, EVs are still quite pricey compared to gas-powered cars. If you’re not yet ready to go fully electric, a hybrid or plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) is worth considering.
Each year, more automakers bring hybrids and PHEVs to market. Since crossovers and SUVs are so popular on our shores, many of the latest hybrids and PHEVs are based on current gas-powered models. These hybridized SUVs are almost identical to their gas-only counterparts, but they will save you a significant amount of money on fuel.
We searched the EPA’s fuel economy ratings to find today’s new hybrid and plug-in hybrid SUVs with the best fuel economy. According to the EPA, the most fuel-efficient plug-in hybrid SUV costs only $850 per year to fuel. This means a savings of $950 per year compared to the average new vehicle.
