The Most Fuel-Efficient New Vehicles in Canada

With gas prices continuously fluctuating across the Lower Mainland, reducing our fuel costs can seem like a full-time job. Checking gas price apps, driving around from gas station to gas station, and even driving over to a neighbouring city because the prices are better there; we Vancouverites are pulling out all the stops to reduce what we shell out at the pump. However, simply switching into a more fuel-efficient vehicle would be one of the biggest things that could impact our fuel costs.

But knowing which vehicles get the best gas mileage and which ones don’t is important too. Because depending on how we drive, not just any vehicle will reduce our costs. Which is why we’ve composed this list of the most fuel-efficient new vehicles in Canada to help our readers decide for themselves what will work for their driving habits, and their pocket books.

And if you’re looking for additional savings, check out the BC Hydro website for incentives on hybrid vehicle purchases. As well as selling your car to Cash For Cars BC instead of trading it in. We offer the MOST cash for cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, and motorcycles in Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, and Vancouver Island.

What are the Benefits to Owning a Hybrid in Metro Vancouver?

Owning a hybrid in an area like Metro Vancouver has some major advantages. Aside from the fact that Vancouver is provisioned perfectly for clean-energy vehicles with the many charging stations sprinkled throughout the city, it is also great to own a hybrid because city traffic can be murder on your wallet.

Constant stop-and-go traffic and hours upon hours spent idling, all add up to poor gas mileage and increased fuel costs. Which is why many Vancouverites are making the switch to hybrid vehicles and fully electric vehicles.

The Benefits to Owning a Hybrid Include:

• Superior fuel-efficiency
• Lower emissions
• Fewer maintenance costs
• Higher resale value
• Less time spent fueling up
• A quieter ride

With the infrastructure continuing to branch outward from Metro Vancouver into the Fraser Valley and across the province, owning a hybrid is easier now more than ever.
