Safety First, Gas Second

When people buy a car, they often look at safety, but these days, mileage matters more, as USA Today wrote. However, even if a car has a high IIHS safety ranking (which is not as good as the European one) and a good gas mileage, you can be better off by changing it with a bigger car, better safety, and a slightly lower mileage.

Why? Once again, safety. When a small car hits a big one, the laws of physics leave the small car no chance. It will be crashed and smashed, and the passengers will be seriously hurt.

Does it cost more to have a less efficient car? Yes, definitely. Is a better mileage worth the safety risk? Well, as much as we know, no. Definitely no.

Drive safely!
