SUVs That Save Money at the Pump

For years SUVs were notorious for their poor fuel economy, but their practicality keeps sales up. Families love SUVs because they offer comparable space to a minivan in much sportier packaging. With raising gas prices, drivers had to take bank loans to fill up these gas guzzlers, but manufacturers have made great strides in improving their fuel economy. While a hybrid model of an SUV may add a few more miles to the gallon, their much higher costs, sometimes make them unaffordable for many people. Here is our list for the top 6 non-hybrid SUVs:

1. Nissan Juke (27 city/32 hwy/29 combined)


2. Mitsubishi Outlander Sport (25 city/31 hwy/27 combined)


3. Hyundai Tuscon (23 city/31 hwy/26 combined)


4. Chevrolet Equinox (22 city/32 hwy/26 combined) tie


GMC Terrain (22 city/32 hwy/26 combined) tie


5. Jeep Patriot (23 city/29 hwy/25 combined)


For those that can afford hybrid models the Ford Escape Hybrid and Mercury Mariner Hybrid tied for the top spot over all with 34 city, 31 highway, and 32 combined MPGs.
