I noticed on this list it says that the Accent is the 2nd cheapest car to drive in 2013.

is this actually true? i love my Sonata and i'm looking to buy an accent for my daughter

but the list doesn't make sense to me
How do they even calculate gas?
Prius 51 / 48 mpg - Gas – $3,175
Elantra 28 / 38 mpg - Gas – $3,194
Accent 28 / 37 mpg - Gas - $2,988
Fiesta 29 / 39 mpg - Gas - $4,553

seems weird

 

Sounds reasonable to me. My guess is that there are other factors - such as cost to insure, typical mpg (city vs hwy), gas costs based on tank size. But without the link to an article or source, it is hard to say. Hyundais tend to be lower cost to insure - except the Genesis and Equus of course.

And I bet your daughter would be happy to drive an elantra.
