Background Info On Different Engine Types:

 Before discussing the different cars, it is imperative to have some basic knowledge about the different types of engines or power terrains which the modern cars use to provide their users with excellent gas mileage.

Hybrid Engines

Hybrid engines are just like normal engines, but with an extra battery pack attached which provides the car power from the battery. Hybrid cars provide excellent fuel average because the cars use purely battery power till a specific speed limit. For instance, some hybrid cars are programmed to use purely battery power till 25mp/h. This means that the hybrid engine would use fuel only after the car has crossed the 25Mp/h speed.

Electric Engines

Electric engines aren’t typically engines but just massive batteries attached to the car’s crankshaft. The batteries provide electrical power to the crankshaft and help in moving the car.

Small Capacity Engines

Engine size is measured in CC’s or liters. For example, a 1.5L engine is basically somewhere around 1500cc’s. These are usually known as smaller engines as compared to other engines such as V8’s. Smaller engines do not always mean that they would provide a good fuel average, however in most cases, they do.
