Inefficient Cars

When buying a car there are several issues that you should look at. Reliability, price and what tax code it falls under are just some of them but in a time when petrol is extremely expensive, probably the most important issue is efficiency or fuel consumption. If you buy a car with a great fuel consumption rate then you are more likely to save money in the long run as you will spend less on petrol. There are certain cars which you should look to buy if this is one of the ways in which you chose your new car and if you are looking for second hand cars to buy then visit Spain car hire. There are also cars to avoid though, cars which will use a huge amount of fuel to get you not very far. Here are some of the biggest fuel consumers around.

Aston Martin DB9

It's not exactly a secret that sports cars have a bad fuel economy, they have massive engines and weigh a great deal but you should always be aware that you will spend a huge amount on petrol if you buy a car like this. With a fuel economy of 11mpg on the city streets and 17 on the motorway, the DB9 is the king of petrol guzzling cars.

2011 Mercedes-Benz E350 4matic

Station wagons are great if you have a large family as they can get a large amount of people in and are usually rather safe. Certain cars in this class though use up a great deal of petrol and none more so than the E350. A huge engine eats up the petrol like no other and it can only go 16 mpg in the city and 23 outside of it so it will be an expensive car to keep.

Land Rover Discovery

Big 4x4s are also some of the least efficient cars out there and although they may be reliable, the money you are saving on repairs and parts you will spend on petrol. Bear this in mind when you buy your new car.
