Auto-news' Top 15 Gasoline saving cars you can buy in Germany
The first thing you might think about about German cars can be either a high-powered sports car or the car for the people. You might also think about the speed-limit-free Autobahn and a love for power. However, as always, the truth is that Germany, as the most important European car market, has a variety of cars on sale (and a variety of speed limits, too).
Probably the champions of getting miles from a gallon of fuel are diesels, which is true in most of the cases - You might be surprised how many people are buying diesels today because they're "in." Using a famous carmaker's branding, the '80's GTIs are today's TDIs.
Nevertheless, there is also a very good selection of high-MPG gasoline cars available to Germans (and by extension, to most Western Europeans). That's why Auto-News has decided to make a list of fuel-sipping gasoline cars, not including hybrids. These are simple gasoline cars that also have extremely good maintenance costs.
Follow us after the jump for the list. Pictured above is #15, the Hyundai Atos 1.1.
