While all of the fuel efficient cars mentioned above provide great gas mileage. There is still one major Delma for many. That Delma is the fact many can not afford to purchase any of these new vehicles. Since studies show that most cars on the road today are older then 10 years. This means with all of these cars older then ten years old you are wasting more money on fuel cost every day on gas you could be saving.

Although did you know your current car could be on this cars list. Granted you will not get as good of gas mileage as the Toyota Prius or the Ford Fusion hybrids. You could still save a ton of money every single month on gas. All that is needed to do is add a very simple device called the hho dry cell. These device range in prices from $300-2000. However with the right set of instructions you could build one of these devices your self and install it over the course of a weekend.
