At the time of writing, fuel prices - for both diesel and petrol - in the United Kingdom are continuing to rise. The focus has once again been placed on fuel efficient cars.
These ongoing price hikes have led many to reconsider whether owning a bigger, fuel-hungry car is cost effective - with many choosing to look towards fuel efficiency instead.
With a number of the big manufacturers now producing efficient cars, there are certainly some good options out there.
But which are the most efficient cars you can buy today?
Toyota Prius - The Prius is just one of a few the fuel efficient cars manufactured by Toyota - with the Camry Hybrid and the Yaris also being viable options.
Featuring a 1.8 litre, four-cylinder engine that produces 134 horsepower, the Toyota Prius provides all the power you'd want from a small sedan - going from naught to 60 in just 9.8 seconds.
Reasonably sized - with five seats - and sleekly designed, it is a particularly good car for those that have a heavy daily commute - with an average efficiency rate of 50 miles per gallon.
Peugeot HYbrid4 3008 - The world's first diesel electric hybrid, this offering from Peugeot is certainly one of the most fuel efficient cars currently available - with official tests displaying a hugely impressive efficiency rate of 74.4 miles per gallon.
The four drive modes that it offers is what makes achieving these awe inspiring figures possible. Depending on the choice of mode - Auto, ZEV, 4WD and Sport - the driver can chose to use the Peugeot HYbrid4 3008 as a high-performing car or one optimised for fuel efficiency.
Lexus CT 200h - One of the common misconceptions about fuel efficient cars is that they aren't very luxurious. The Lexus CT 200h is a car that certainly quashes this notion. Featuring a 1.8 litre, four-cylinder engine (like the Toyota Prius), the CT 200h offers an impressive interior - one that is sure to wow passengers.
Most importantly though, it also boasts an impressive efficiency rate of 42 miles per gallon - making driving to work in your best car seem like a viable option.
Honda Insight - A much more affordable option than the Lexus CT 200h, the Honda Insight offers the same fuel efficiency rate - of 42 miles per gallon. It also features a slightly smaller 1.3 litre, four-cylinder engine that produces a reasonable 98 horsepower.
This four-door hatchback certainly isn't bad to look at either. Designed like models such as the Prius, it boasts a smooth front and an abrupt tail, as well as a reasonably impressive interior - futuristic in its design.
Lincoln MKZ Hybrid - Boasting a powerful 2.5 litre, four-cylinder engine, capable of producing 191 horsepower, the Lincoln MKZ Hybrid is more expensive than its competitors. But, as you'd expect, it's certainly one of the classiest.
Although its average fuel efficiency rate of 39 miles per gallon isn't as impressive as some, such as the HYbrid4 3008, the executive-style feel of the MKZ Hybrid certainly can't be overlooked.
