Fuel Mileage Be Damned

While the fuel efficiency of the car you choose for either your daily drive or the fun you want to have on the weekend might not be the top priority for you when it’s time to have the drive you’re looking for. Even though this might not be the highest priority for you, it might be good to know if the car you want to drive is rated the worst or the best in its class for fuel efficiency. Here are the least efficient cars in every class to give you something to think about.

Two-Seaters: Bugatti Chiron

Thankfully, you’re not likely to purchase this car with its enormous price tag, but if you do, you’ll probably not care too much that this car is the least efficient in the class. This car uses an 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 engine to make 1500 horsepower and offer you a paltry 11 mpg combined to make you have to fill it up often when you want to drive this car.

Minicompacts: Ferrari GTC4Lusso

We might see sports car across most of this lists offered, it’s interesting this car is considered to be small when it’s a full-size GT car to drive. Under the long hood of this Ferrari is a 6.3-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine that will offer you a full thirteen mpg combined to make it hard for you to go very far before you need to fill the tank with gas.

Subcompacts: Bentley Continental GT Convertible

Here’s a tight little Bentley that can be a lot of fun on the road and give you the pure luxury feeling you want and expect from this brand. If you choose this car for the drive, there’s a good chance you didn’t even think about the fact it only offers you fourteen mpg combined for the drive you’ll need to make.

Compacts: Rolls-Royce Dawn

You’re not buying this car for the fuel mileage and that’s a good thing since it only makes fourteen mpg combined. This is a car that’s a serious status symbol that says to the world that you prefer the power of the 6.6-liter twin-turbocharged V12 to the savings you could have on fuel. Of course, we can all understand the draw of 563 ponies under the hood.

Midsize: Bentley Flying Spur

Here’s another Bentley that barely offers you the fuel mileage needed to drive a great distance. Maybe you should hire a fuel truck to follow you when you drive this car that only offers fourteen mpg combined. This car makes use of the twin-turbocharged W12 engine that pushes the power to all four wheels when you drive.

Large: Rolls-Royce Ghost

Big, powerful, classy, elegant, and sophisticated are all ways you can describe this car. Nowhere on the list will be efficiency as this brute makes use of a 6.6-liter twin-turbocharged V12 that makes the power you’re looking for but only offers us fourteen mpg combined for the drive. No matter, you’ll find a place to fill up or have some fuel cans ready when you need them.

Large: Rolls-Royce Phantom

We’ve never thought of the Phantom as a car that’s been built for efficiency and the fourteen mpg combined is more proof of that fact. This car makes use of an impressive 6.7-liter twin-turbocharged V12 engine to give you 563 horsepower and 664 lb.-ft. of torque. This is a massive engine and in a car that’s made to be a seriously posh vehicle, it makes perfect sense for the drive.

Small Wagon: Volvo V60 Polestar

Here’s one of the most efficient cars on this list and it only makes 22 mpg combined. This Volvo V60 Polestar is one of the newest models from Volvo and it uses the 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine for the power, but this engine is also supercharged and turbocharged to allow it to give you excellent power from under the hood. Just don’t expect this car to be efficient.

Midsize Wagon: Mercedes-AMG E63 S

This is a surprising vehicle that continues to be offered in the US even though most European wagons never make it across the ocean. The 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine under the hood gives you 602 horsepower but it doesn’t do much for efficiency as it only allows you to reach a combined level of 18 mpg.
