Fuel Consumption Is No Longer a Detail and Now Defines Which Car Fits Your Budget

With fuel prices soaring and the economy unstable, fuel consumption is no longer a detail: today it directly impacts the driver’s wallet. A survey by Inmetro, based on the Brazilian Vehicle Labeling Program (PBEV), revealed the 10 cars up to R$ 150,000 with the worst fuel efficiency in 2025.

The list, which considers energy consumption in megajoules per kilometer (MJ/km), exposes a reality: even in times of electrification, many of the least efficient cars are still SUVs and pickups, precisely the segments that have grown the most in Brazil, according to Autoesporte.

10th) Peugeot 2008 – 1.66 MJ/km

The French SUV delivers a good technological package but disappoints in efficiency, especially in urban use with ethanol.
