This Nissan Rogue is one of a number of modern SUVs that won't break
the bank when it's time to refuel. In a scorching hot new car retail
market, SUV sales are positively on fire. Small crossover SUVs are
particularly popular, with sales up nearly 10 percent as of mid-summer
2014 compared to the same time last year. Fuel economy improvements
also have people shopping practical crossovers against mainstream
family sedans, and then choosing the SUV. You might even be one of
those people trying to make just such a decision. That鈥檚 why we鈥檝e
done the research for you, and created this list of the 8 best SUVs for
getting great gas mileage. Based on official EPA estimates for 2014
models, the following 8 models are expected to get at least 28 mpg in
combined driving. With front-wheel drive, the Buick Encore is rated to
get 28 mpg in combined driving thanks to its small size and
turbocharged, 138-horsepower, 1.4-liter 4-cylinder engine. It鈥檚 the
same one that General Motors uses in the Chevy Sonic, which isn鈥檛
surprising when you remember that the Encore is based on the Sonic鈥檚
platform.
