Top 10 Fuel Efficient Cars in Australia
The high cost of petrol is getting a lot of people thinking about their current car. If you have made the decision to purchase a new car and fuel efficiency is key, use the following list to facilitate the process. Note that the figure shown is based on a “combined cycle” which is based on both city and highway driving. If you use your car more in the city - often stopping, starting and accelerating, you will use more fuel.
According to the GreenVehicleGuide, the top 10 most fuel efficient cars in Australia are:
| Model | Fuel Type | Consumption |
| Mini Cooper D Hardtop 1.6L, 4 seats | Diesel | 3.9L/100kms |
| Fiat 500 1.3L, 4 seats | Diesel | 4.2L/100kms |
| Smart fortwo 1.0L, 2 seats | Petrol | 4.4L/100kms |
| Citroen C3 1.6L, 5 seats | Diesel | 4.4L/100kms |
| Fiat Punto 1.3L, 5 seats | Diesel | 4.4L/100kms |
| Toyota Prius Hybrid 1.5L, 5 seats | Elec/Petrol | 4.4L/100kms |
| Citroen C4 1.6L, 5 seats | Diesel | 4.5L/100kms |
| Audi A3 Sportback 1.9L, 5 seats | Diesel | 4.5L/100kms |
| Honda Civic Hybrid 1.3L, 5 seats | Elec/Petrol | 4.6L/100kms |
| Fiat Ritmo 1.6L, 5 seats | Diesel | 4.6L/100kms |
Given that diesel is more efficient than petrol, it is not surprising to see that seven of the top ten cars use diesel!
