Fuel prices are out of control; they rise up and down tethered to current events. Either way, every driver feels the highs and lows of fuel costs every time they visit the pumps. As a result, the best move car buyers can hope to make is to choose a car with excellent fuel economy, like the Hyundai Elantra Hybrid. According to True Car, here are some of the best gas sippers with a fuel economy of over 40 mpg.

The 2022 Hyundai Elantra, complete with a design refresh courtesy of the 2021 model, can seat five occupants without fuss. The Elantra is also available in seven trim levels, so customers have no shortage of options. The trim levels include sportier models with the agile 276 horsepower Hyundai Elantra N, all the way to the economical Elantra Hybrid Blue DCT. The Hybrid Blue DCT features a hybrid 1.6L Inline 4-cylinder engine capable of cruising to the tune of 56 mpg on the highway.

The 2022 Hyundai Sonata offers even more trim-level variety than the Elantra, with nine available trims to explore. Quite like the Elantra, the Sonata is also available with an N Line option, with this Sonata N Line producing 290 horsepower. However, most economically-minded customers choose the 2022 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Limited. The Sonata Hybrid Limited runs on a hybrid 2.0L Inline 4-cylinder engine and front-wheel drive. This combination allows the Sonata Hybrid Limited to achieve a fuel economy of 45 mpg city and 51 mpg at highway speeds.

The 2022 Hyundai Ioniq is an unorthodox-looking car with exceptional gas-sipping credentials. On top of seriously impressive fuel economy figures, the Ioniq has a starting price of around $25,000. Additionally, like other Hyundai models, there is no shortage of trim levels. The Ioniq will not win any drag races, and True Car calls the seats lackluster, but the hybrid offers much. According to True Car, the most popular model is the 2022 Hyundai Ioniq hybrid SE, which, like the Elantra, is powered by a hybrid 1.6L Inline 4-cylinder engine. However, the Ioniq hybrid SE will accomplish an extra mile in fuel efficiency over its sister car.

With low-slung sci-fi styling, the 2021 Karma GSe-6 is a tantalizing prospect for people seeking to transport folks in style. The aggressive visage comes at a price, though, with the Karma GSe-6 flexing a starting price of $85,700. Additionally, the Luxury is the trim consumers want the most, which Karma bills as a technologically advanced plug-in hybrid. The Luxury is powered by a turbocharged 1.5L Inline 3-cylinder engine and electric compliments, which Karma says will deliver a combined fuel economy of 70 mpg.
