toyota The average 2016 vehicle gets 25 miles per gallon, according to fueleconomy.gov. This is a great improvement over older cars, but many vehicles get higher gas mileage. If saving money is important to you when buying a car, it’s one of the first things you’ll be interested in looking at. Let’s look at which Toyotas get the best gas efficiency to give you the best value.

Toyota Prius

By far, the Prius outranks any other Toyota for fuel efficiency, whether you get gas-only, a hybrid of gas and electric, or electric only. The Prius v gets 42 mpg, which sounds great until you see what other types of Prius vehicles there are. The Prius and Prius c are both gasoline-only and average 50 mpg. But it can still get better. The Prius Plug-in Hybrid gets 50 mpg on regular gas and 95 mpg when using electric and gas. This means you can save over $3,000 each year by switching to a Toyota Prius.

Toyota Camry Hybrid

Both the Camry Hybrid LE and the Camry Hybrid XLE/SE get excellent gas mileage from regular gasoline. The Camry Hybrid LE averages 41 mpg, and the MSRP on this car is actually cheaper than the Camry Hybrid XLE/SE, which averages 40 mpg. This means you could save over $2,500 in fuel costs over five years with one of these cars. However, make sure to get the hybrid if gas mileage is important to you. The non-hybrid Camry averages 28 mpg, which is still great fuel efficiency but much less than the hybrids.

Toyota Avalon Hybrid

This sleek, sophisticated car will turn heads as you cruise down the road. The Toyota Avalon Hybrid gets 40 mpg combined, saving you over $2,500 in fuel costs over five years. Its counterpart, the non-hybrid Avalon, gets 24 mpg combined. The difference between the two Avalon cars is that the hybrid is only four cylinders while the non-hybrid is six cylinders. The hybrid is slightly more expensive, although costs are very similar for both cars.

The Corolla with variable gear ratios averages 32 mpg, saving you over $1,500 in fuel costs over five years.
