With gas prices flirting with all time highs and the economy going "who knows where," who isn't looking to save money on gas? It's a common misconception that older cars get worse mileage than their counterparts of today, but that couldn't be further from the truth.
To most drivers, being seen in a 15 year old car lacks a certain degree of "coolness," but in reality most could use the extra money saved by driving an older car. How is that possible you might ask? Despite the day-to-day upkeep required of older vehicles, they are in fact money savers in the long run. Older cars can often be found cheap enough to purchase outright. Who really wants another monthly payment? Insurance is usually much cheaper and the fuel costs over time will save you a bundle. Granted it's hard to forget the day you drive a shiny new dream car off the lot, but in reality many of us cannot afford to do so.
The key when shopping for an older used car is to look around. The following list will help you get started and shows fuel the consumption in miles per gallon (mpg) of older used cars. You can see the Honda Insight and Toyota Prius of the early 2000's remains unmatched to this day in terms of fuel mileage but despite all the hype about Hybrids, older cars remaining on the list shows the automotive industry's lack of progress in the last 25 years.
