8 Fuel-efficient Cars Available in the Philippines

When buying new cars, fuel efficiency is one of the top 3 aspects we consider as Filipinos in addition to function and looks. We at YugaTech completely understand since every year, EDSA seems to be getting smaller and smaller as traffic gets worse. For this article we list down 8 fuel-efficient cars available here in the Philippines with the highest kilometer-per-liter count (city/highway combined) as stated by their manufacturers.

The vehicles in this lineup are purely passenger cars that concentrate more on the affordable side of the spectrum. We still included a couple of hybrids since giving back good mileage is already at their core. Below are some of the cars you can find with a sweet balance of good fuel efficiency and at the same time a reasonable asking price.
