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.

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.

Australia has about 10,000 km of landfills and recycling plants with nets capable of withstanding winds of up to 100 km per hour to prevent bags and plastics from escaping, reaching farms, highways, and natural habitats, and increasing the risk to animals and ecosystems.

Kuwait removes landfill with over 50 million tires, erases visible stain from space, and transforms the world’s largest rubber cemetery into fuel and recycled material.
