Let’s face it: it’s a tough economy out there, and if you’re car shopping, you’re probably thinking about which vehicles have the best fuel efficiency. A car that can save you on gas expenses can be a real lifesaver, but like most people, you’re probably also looking for something roomy, safe, reliable, and functional. Thankfully, your local Buick dealer is a great place to start your search.

The Buick Encore GX and the 2022 GMC Terrain have a fuel economy of about 30 miles per gallon and are excellent choices if you’re looking for a combination of excellent fuel economy, utility, space, and reliability.
The Buick Encore is overall the best vehicle if you’re looking for something with great gas mileage, and the 2023 Buick Encore GX FWD is your best bet if you’re on the hunt for something brand new. It’s a subcompact crossover SUV gets about 29 mpg in the city, and 32 mpg on the highway. It is powered by a turbocharged, 137-horsepower three-cylinder engine, so it has a lot of pep when you’re ready to get out onto the open road.
Your Trusted Buick Dealer Can Help You Determine MPG
Now that you know which models to look for, it’s important to understand what to note once you begin your search. You’ll see a number for city gas mileage and one for highway, and each number will be a bit different. Vehicles typically get better gas mileage on the highway, so if that’s where you drive most of the time, keep that number in mind while you compare numbers and ask your salesperson questions.
You’ll notice a larger number in bold that states the combined mpg; this is the most prominent number you’ll notice when you look up the vehicle’s gas mileage information. That’s an average of city and highway mileage, which is what most people use to determine their usage. Keep this in mind if you do a lot of commuting while running errands in the city.
Used cars are a great option, but keep in mind that car companies continually improve efficiency. If you are looking for something practical, zippy and great on gas with plenty of room, a GMC or Buick will never let you down and will be reliable for years to come.
