Howdy Honda Priority Spotlight: Fuel Economy

In a recent 2011 study conducted by Maritz Research, more than 40 percent of car consumers look at fuel economy as an “extremely important” option when shopping for a new vehicle. Taking that fact one step further, the annual study also found that 1 in 3 consumers believe that fuel efficiency will play the largest impact regarding the next vehicle they purchase. That percentage is even higher among younger buyers.

Fuel efficiency numbers are evolving strongly due to the millennial age group, ranging from late teens to early 30’s, and their large emphasis on fuel economy. 46 percent of Millennials view fuel economy as “extremely important” during their new vehicle search; this is the single highest percentage in any other age group by a landslide. Of those 46 percent, 41 percent believe that fuel economy is the single most important option when buying a new vehicle.

If you’re one of those seeking optimal fuel efficiency on your next car, you might want to check out some Honda models. Honda is renowned for fuel-efficiency because of their hybrid, electric and fuel-cell vehicle selection, and the EcoAssist technology they have implemented over the years. Some of the most fuel efficient Hondas we have here are: Honda Civic Hybrid, Honda Insight and the Honda CR-Z.

The Honda Civic Hybrid offers a stunning 44 miles-per-gallon that will keep your money where it belongs, in your wallet. This also holds true for both the Honda Insight and the Honda CR-Z, as the Insight gets an average of 43 miles-per-gallon and the sporty CR-Z averages at 34 miles-per-gallon.

Modern buyers, like you, expect the best possible fuel-economy out of their new car; I mean, we expect it too! If you think about it, not only it saves money, but it’s also much better for our planet. The Earth’s resources are finite and we can help decrease our carbon footprint by being more efficient with our car’s fuel consumption. Cue saving-the-world music.
