Day by day, the cost of fuel keeps rising, fuel economy is getting an important selling feature for car manufacturers. I have gathered a list of SA’s most fuel efficient cars. Here I have focus on petrol and diesel driven cars. In this list several cars are just away from top ten by just a 0.1/litre variation. This list of the ten most fuel-efficient SA cars informs you that which ones can be worth buying and which ones are best to left at the showroom.
Interestingly, all these cars come in for less than 4.0litres/100km, this means at present fuel rates, if you want to cover up 100 km, it will cost you approximately R51. Purchasing one among these cars is the smartest thing to lower your future fuel consumption. Following is List of such cars with is CO2 Emissions, Transmissions and pricing :
