The most fuel-efficient way to commute in the 252. Sedans from local Eastern North Carolina dealers.
Sedans are the most common vehicle type on 252 dealer lots for a reason - they cost less to buy, less to insure, and less to fuel than anything else on four wheels. A used Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla averages 30-38 MPG. A Camry or Accord seats five adults and still gets 28-33 MPG. If your main use is commuting to work in Greenville and running errands, a sedan does the job for the lowest total cost of ownership.
Used sedans also hold a pricing advantage over SUVs and trucks. The same year, same miles, same brand - the sedan version costs $2,000-$5,000 less because buyer demand has shifted toward SUVs. That shift is your opportunity. A 5-year-old Camry with 60,000 miles is the same reliable drivetrain whether it's popular on social media or not.
