Some cars guzzle up more petrol or diesel than others, so which are the best for this important factor?

The vehicle experts at What Car? tested and found out which vehicles have the best fuel economy.

These assessments were done by measuring the emissions let out by different cars.

Toyota Yaris 1.5 Hybrid

This CVT car from the Japanese manufacturer is incredible at cutting fuel costs.

The Yaris 1.5 Hybrid not only has great fuel economy in the testing rooms but also lets out less emissions on the road.

This frugal vehicle is also one of the most reliable small cars on the market.

This means drivers can save costs at the petrol pump and also at the garage.

Honda Jazz 1.5 i-MMD Hybrid

This Honda is a great pick for people looking to cut down on costs as it is cheap to run.

The hybrid car includes two electric motors that assist a 1.5-litre petrol engine.

This small car might be cheaper to run but it comes at a slightly higher price, compared to similar vehicles.

Despite this, the compact car is spacious inside, making this a good option for drivers looking to carry four passengers.

Toyota Corolla 1.8 Petrol

Another Toyota has starred for its low running costs and reliability.

The Corolla 1.8 Petrol performs particularly well on town roads.

This hybrid is also easy to run as it does not require drivers to plug in the vehicle to charge.

Therefore, this Corolla can ride at low speeds without using any petrol in its tank, making it a great option for savvy drivers.

Seat Ibizia 1.0 TSI 95

This vehicle is cost-effective despite having no hybrid power.

The Seat is cheap to run but also a powerful and fast car for drivers looking to have a bit of fun.

This vehicle can get up to motorway speeds surprisingly quickly on its petrol engines.

Kia Picanto 1.0 DPi

This vehicle is a good option for people looking to keep their motor costs low.

With great fuel economy and a low market price, this Picanto is a great pick for savvy drivers.

One downside to this car is it is less powerful and accelerates slower than other cars on this list.

Motor experts noted the Kia Picanto was a low-cost car that was also cheap to run
