The top car on our list, the subcompact Mitsubishi Mirage, starts out frugally with a base price at around $14,000; while it’s three-cylinder engine provides only token acceleration, it’s rated at 37/43 mpg, which yields an average annual fuel cost of just $950. By comparison, the top model in Mitsubishi’s line, the compact Outlander GT SUV with AWD and a 3.0-liter engine, is rated at 20/27 mpg with an annual fuel cost of $1,900. That’s a difference of $950 per year and $4,750 over a five-year ownership period, based on both cars driven 15,000 miles per year and consuming regular-grade gas at an average $2.44 a gal- lon. In terms of environmental effects, the Mirage is esti- mated to consume 8.5 barrels of crude oil each year versus 14.3 for the Outlander, and be responsible for 226 grams per mile of tailpipe CO2 emissions versus 388 grams per mile. And the savings become more pronounced when comparing any of the cars on our fuel-sippers list with some of the industry’s largest and most powerful mod- HONDA FIT els. For example, the full-size V8-powered Chevrolet Tahoe SUV is rated at 16/23 mpg, which means it will cost an owner $1,950 and use 17.3 barrels of crude oil each year to keep running, while emitting 477 grams of CO2 per mile driven.

A hatchback model also is available, but it costs more. We’re featuring the 15 most affordable cars of the year along with their base prices (not including options, destination charges, licensing, or fees) in the accompanying box. The Versa S is the proverbial economy car, with a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that puts out a languid 109 horsepower mated to a five- speed manual transmission. While it comes with air conditioning and a CD stereo, the car’s windows and locks are manually operat- ed, which your kids would probably regard as the equivalent of having a rotary-dial telephone these days. No factory options are available except for a CVT , which adds $1,690 to the cost. At that, many items that are commonly standard elsewhere, like split-fold rear seats, satellite radio, and power locks/windows, are limited to only the top two trim levels in the Versa line. Still, buyers with deeper pockets that may be looking to downsize their current vehicles can equip some of the least expensive small cars and crossovers with a fair number of luxury car-like amenities.
