Cars that save money and are easy on the eyes aren’t a myth. We know of 7 amazing cars that save you money. Let’s find out more.

The fact that muscle and sports cars only belong in the garages of those who can afford to maintain such expensive rides is a myth. Sure, repairs and insurance will still take a big chunk of the yearly upkeep, but fuel is the biggest, often most unpredictable expensive with heavy-duty vehicles.

Dubai’s fuel prices continue to surge every few months, with the most recent increase being Super 98 at Dh2.61 (up from Dh2.59 in September 2018) and Special 95 at Dh2.50 (up from Dh2.48 last month). Diesel price has been fixed at Dh2.76 per litre (from Dh2.64 in September).

Keeping the needs of conscious buyers in mind – automotive brands are introducing vehicles that provide high-octane features with decent mileage. Here are our top seven:
