Top 5 Least Fuel Efficient Cars
Breathe easy fellow middle class Americans, as more than likely, none of the top five least fuel efficient cars grace our driveways. Even if we inherited one of these babies we’d be shelling out almost $10 to drive a mere 25 miles! However, I’m positive the mega-rich aren’t losing sleep or concerning themselves with how to save on gas. Regardless, here’s a look at the top five gas guzzling hogs on the roadways…just for heck of it.
1) 2008 Lamborghini Murcielago - That any modern day cars could get such horrible mileage is astonishing…8 miles per gallon in the city and 13 mpg on the highway! On a positive note, Lamborghini owners who fill-up with a gas rewards card will get a nice hefty rebate at the end of the month.
2) It’s a tie between the Bentley Azure and Bentley Arnage RL – Such beautiful cars, how sad that they only get 9 mpg while commuting through town and 15 mpg on the open road.
3) The Ferrari 612 Scaglietti – Probably a thrill to drive, but with only 9 city and 16 highway miles per gallon, we’ll pass.
4) Another tie, the Aston Martin DB9 Coupe and DB9 Volunte – James Bond would have to pull over for gas quite often when chasing the bad guys whilst driving this famed vehicle. The Martin’s only get 10 stop and go miles per gallon and 16 highway mpg.
5) Bottoming out the list with 10 city and 16 highway mpg is the Bentley Continental GTC – As Toyota was to the top five most fuel efficient cars, Bentley manufacturers are to the top least fuel efficient vehicles. But hey, at least they weren’t in first place…which is a good thing on this type of list.
The results for mpg are probably even lower for the Lamborghini and Ferrari. After all, these aren’t the type of cars you use for Sunday drives, they were built for speed. Could you fathom driving sports cars like those the speed limit? Be honest. Now that you’ve said, “No way”, we can safely assume that this theory is not too far off…especially considering that driving the speed limit is a major gas saving strategy.
