Vehicle Fuel Economy Information

Energy Information

Gas-powered engines have improved significantly in fuel efficiency over the decades but remain the least fuel-efficient option among the three compared. They are often chosen for their lower price tags and more powerful engines.

Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI) diesel engines are designed for improved economy and offer more 'oomph' and less pollution than standard diesel engines, though they are more expensive to build and can be noisier.

Vehicles that combine a conventional internal combustion engine with an electric motor, offering improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions compared to traditional cars.
