Owning a car is a desire for a large portion of Brazilians; ease of transportation, safety, and comfort are among the desired attributes of owning a vehicle. However, there are various expenses involved in maintaining one's own vehicle, and these are not always carefully considered.

Know about the cost of maintenanceInformation such as insurance and energy consumption helps when planning to keep a vehicle in the garage.

Based on Brazilian Vehicle Labeling Program (PBEV), the Mr. Cars The list included "The 42 most fuel-efficient cars in Brazil." All vehicles on the list have... CONPET energy efficiency sealIn order to bear such a seal, the model must be efficient, not only compared to similar models in its category (relative classification), but also compared to all other models participating in the PBEV (absolute classification).

Choosing a more fuel-efficient vehicle can greatly help with your monthly bill due to its energy efficiency.

So check it out below!

The C-Class is a line of compact models from Mercedes-Benz. It is offered in sedan, touring, and coupe versions.

THE C180 It has a fuel capacity of 66 liters and, due to its automatic transmission and durability, consumes less fuel compared to other models from the manufacturer.
