As a result, many people in that part of the country began hoarding gas&mdash;and fuel prices started to spike across the country. During the height of the calamity, the average price of gas was the highest it had been in six years, at more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/energy\/top-us-fuel-pipeline-edges-toward-reopening-gasoline-shortages-worsen-2021-05-12\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"than $3 per gallon\">than $3 per gallon<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the Colonial Pipeline incident was undoubtedly disruptive, it wasn&rsquo;t nearly as problematic as the energy crisis of the 1970s.

The United States has faced fuel-related crises before and will again in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to be prepared for the next shortage&mdash;or you simply want a car that gets unbelievably good fuel economy&mdash;you&rsquo;ll want to consider checking out some of the ultra-efficient vehicles on this list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/fuel-efficient-banner-1024x872.jpg\" alt=\"fuel efficiency slogan\" class=\"wp-image-39698\" width=\"1024\" height=\"872\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/fuel-efficient-banner-1024x872.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/fuel-efficient-banner-300x256.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/fuel-efficient-banner-768x654.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/fuel-efficient-banner-150x128.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/fuel-efficient-banner.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>Thanks to electrification and other advancements in automotive technology, there are many fuel-efficient vehicles available to purchase both new and used.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10 of the Best Vehicles to Own During a Fuel Shortage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/electric-cars-vs-gas-cars\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"electrification\">electrification<\/a> and other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/sustainable-future-of-electric-cars\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"advancements in automotive technology\">advancements in automotive technology<\/a>, there are many fuel-efficient vehicles available to purchase both new and used.
