It’s no secret that Fiat products are economical. For the third year in a row, Fiat has been recognized as Europe’s most environmentally-friendly brand with average CO2 emissions of just 127.8 grams per kilometer. Thus, it really shouldn’t come as a surprise that a Fiat product was chosen out of 241 competitors as the most economical in the land. The German Automobilclub (ADAC) carried out testing on fuel-powered vehicles to find out just how far €30 (about $36 U.S. at the current exchange rate) can get you down the road.

When it comes to getting more for your money, these cars and SUVs pack the most punch.

Nissan‘s $81,000 GT-R goes almost 200 miles an hour, has a 485-horsepower twin-turbo engine and, from a distance, sounds like a whirring reptile ready to strike.
