I’m not sure how much gas is in your part of the country right now, but in South Dakota it’s already up to $2.55 a gallon. There are no signs of prices dropping and chances are with increased demand for gasoline in the summer, prices are only going to go up from here.

If you plan on buying a new vehicle, it makes sense to buy one with good gas mileage. If you aren’t careful, you can end up spending a few thousand dollars in gasoline costs each year. Consider one of these vehicles with the best gas mileage if you plan on buying a new car.
