Fuel prices have been a thorny topic in South Africa of late, with domestic and global factors driving up the cost of a litre of petrol to unprecedented levels.
Last year saw petrol reach an all-time high of R26.74 per litre, and while things have since calmed down to a slightly more tolerable R22.97 per litre as of April 2023, local motorists are still paying through the nose to keep their engines running.
With that in mind, fuel-efficient cars are more appealing than ever, and thankfully there is a good variety currently on the market that promise to deliver great mileage for every litre burnt.
As crossovers are quickly becoming the country’s favourite vehicle body type, we put together this list of the most economical models on sale today to help with your next fuel-conscious purchase.
