With costs for everything from gasoline to sandwich bread on the rise, it's important to find ways to save money however you can. One way to significantly reduce your gas expenses is to get yourself into a pre-owned fuel-efficient vehicle from Courtesy Nissan.

Used Hybrid Vehicles

A hybrid car uses both a gasoline-powered engine and one or more engines powered by electricity. When driving around Altoona, PA, in traffic, the car uses electric motors to power the vehicle. The car knows to switch to the gasoline engine when you need more power on the highway. This approach results in exceptional fuel economy and good performance in various driving conditions.

Used Electric Vehicles

Electric vehicles like the Nissan Leaf, Chevrolet Bolt, and Kia Niro use only electric motors powered by batteries for propulsion. This eliminates tailpipe emissions and trips to the gas station. Since charging stations aren't as common as gas stations, you'll need to plan your route when driving an all-electric vehicle carefully. When buying a pre-owned electric car, we also recommend checking on the vehicle's battery health since this can be an expensive item to fix.

If you want to save gas without worrying about replacing a battery, buying a fuel-efficient gasoline-powered vehicle is your best option. At Courtesy Nissan, you'll find many great pre-owned models from Nissan, including the Versa, Sentra, Altima, Kicks, and Rogue. Each vehicle gets at least 30 miles per gallon in combined city and highway driving. This means you can go further while using less gas and saving a lot of money in the process. Of course, we also have certified pre-owned Nissan models and used models from other manufacturers that get great gas mileage.
