Fuel efficient cars have always been in high demand since the automobile industry started to flourish. Fuel efficiency no longer just boils down to the financial savings. As the world tries to work towards a more economical future, car manufacturers year in, year out push the boundaries for what can be achieved with a tank of fuel.
From a business perspective, with a fleet of sales people out in the fleet of company cars. Squeezing an extra kilometer per liter out of each vehicle could mean massive reductions in the firm’s carbon footprint. For the everyday commuter, saving on those daily commutes certainly adds up. If you calculate the savings and pop in in a piggy bank the dirhams will stack high come the years end.
