The Fiat 500 is perhaps the cheapest, fuel efficient car in the Australian market. The micro car has a fuel consumption of 4.8L/100km combined, the base model is available from $23,179.

Yes, electric cars are typically more energy efficient than petrol or diesel cars. Electric vehicles can convert up to 77% of electrical energy, whereas petrol cars only convert 12% - 30% of stored energy.
