Highway MPG That Matters
When you're commuting between towns like Lewistown, Great Falls, and Helena, every drop of fuel counts. Consider the 2019 Kia Soul Base, priced at $8,990. This little gem offers an impressive highway MPG of around 30. If you travel from Lewistown to Great Falls (about 86 miles one way), you could save over $700 a year in fuel costs alone!
Comfort for Long Drives
Long drives need comfort, and the 2015 Audi A3 is a great choice at just $8,490. With a smooth ride and high-quality interior, it makes those long stretches feel shorter. Plus, it’s known for its reliability, crucial for those lengthy trips across Montana’s rugged terrain.
Small SUVs for Versatility
For those who prefer a bit more space, the 2018 Subaru Outback at $9,990 gives you both comfort and utility. With a highway MPG of around 28, it’s perfect for the family and your outdoor adventures. Imagine driving from Lewistown to Helena (about 113 miles) and saving on fuel while enjoying the comforts of an SUV!
Calculate Your Savings
Let’s break it down: If you drive from Lewistown to Billings (approx. 145 miles) once a week, you might be looking at:
- Weekly distance: 290 miles
- Annual distance: 15,080 miles
- Assuming an average MPG of 30: you’ll use about 502.67 gallons of gas per year
- At $4 per gallon, that’s about $2,010 a year!
Switching to a car that gets 35 MPG could reduce that cost down to around $1,700, saving you $310 annually. That’s money for more trips or fun experiences and less spent at the pump!
