A lot is to be considered when purchasing a Austin-Healey car. If you are purchasing a used Austin-Healey car, checking the condition of the clutch, brakes, engine and transmission will play a huge role in how much that car will cost to run. Even minor problems can result in $100 repairs.

If you emerge from the car and truck purchasing process with a fuel efficient car you will take up less cash in your tank and have more dollars to spend on things that matter.

When it comes to car and truck maintenance, the one thing you can easily and accurately predict for the future is how much gas you are going to use. Fuel prices may fluctuate, but most people can spend a week or two logging their gas consumption and get a great idea of how many gallons they use. If you don't already know, track your gas consumption so you can use this information when purchasing a Austin-Healey car.
Make it the best priority.
One way to make certain that fuel efficiency is considered is to start by looking at a Austin - Healey car that gets good gas mileage. Make it the best priority and see where that leads you. The problem with today's cars and trucks market is car manufacturers know that gas mileage is not a significant consideration when purchasing a new vehicle for many United States customers.
Tightening up the numbers.
When you are evaluating a Austin-Healey cars fuel efficiency, ask yourself how long you think you will be driving the car and determine how much gas will be.
Let us say you want to get a used car for $4,000 and hope to drive it for 4 years. Below are some 4 year gas cost estimates based on driving 15,000 miles per year and buying gas for $1.40 per gallon. If gasoline is more expensive than $1.40, the costs will be even higher. A Sampling of Used Cars: 1994 Ford Explorer SUV (2WD) 4 year gas estimate = $5525 1994 Honda Accord Sedan 4 year gas estimate = $3885 1994 Honda Civic DX Sedan 4 year gas estimate = $2385 A Sampling of New Cars: 2004 Ford Explorer 2WD 4 year gas estimate = $6175 2004 Honda Accord 4 year gas estimate = $3750 2004 Honda Civic Hybrid 4 year gas estimate = $2235 2004 Toyota Prius Hybrid 4 year gas estimate = $1910
This is a little sampling of trucks and cars but you get the point. Unless you really need a sports utility vehicle or big truck, you can save a lot of dollars by purchasing a fuel efficient Austin-Healey car. You will sacrifice size and sometimes luxury when choosing fuel economy first. Part of this is because larger cars and trucks contain more weight and will naturally get worse gas mileage. But it is also a function of consumers not concerned about gas mileage when they make a decision on purchasing a new or used Austin-Healey car.
Leaping into production in 1958, the Donald Healey Sprite was a low cost sports car which used existing BMC parts to ensure over heads of the cars productions remained low. The Austin Healey Sprite would prove to be a big success.
The commonly named "Austin Frogeye", the Mark I Sprite, was a massive success in its three years of production, with no other car competing on price or performance. As its widely used nick name suggests, the distinctive look of the Mark I Sprite owed itself to the round headlamps on the bonnet of the car, nicked named "frog-eye" headlamps. Cheap and easy to maintain, the wings and bonnet was a one piece unit which opened up to allow easy and large access to the engine. The Mark I used the 948cc Austin A-Series engine which was tuneable and capable of 43bhp, the A35 gearbox and axels, and the twin SU carburettors. Equipped with leaf spring suspension to the front, and wishbone suspension to the rear, the Mark I got it suspension from earlier models such as the A35 and Moris Minor.
The Mark II saw some cosmetic changes including the famous headlamps being moved on to the wings, a change of rear bumper, and the introduction of front disc brakes. The Mark II was also equipped with a new larger engine from the Morris Minor 1000 and Morris Minor 1100, increasing the engine size to 1098cc.
A less performance geared Mark III Sprite was more fined with lockable doors, wind up windows, and quarter lights. With the rebadging of the Sprite by BMC to the Midget, the Sprite Mark III was also sold as the MG Midget Mark II.
The Mark IV had two main difference, with an increased capacity to 1275cc and a convertible roof instead of the removable roofs from the earlier variations.
The production of this classic car ended in 1971. Today many of this classic cars are known as "Spridgets" with the classic car enthusiasts community due to the Austin Healey Sprite and the MG Midgets sharing the same design and parts. This makes finding parts relatively easy due to the parts being interchangeable.
