Some cars are not designed to be economy cars. If a car is rated at 18 miles per gallon you can't expect much more then that but you can expect to get alot less at times. Aside from the size of the engine, factors that waste gas include: Rapid acceleration, low air pressure in tires, bad air filter, idling, and air conditiong. Putting air in the tires, new air filter and slow driving will increase your gas milage about 5%. Over the counter fuel cleaners have been proven to raise gas milage by only 0.01% and costs between $1 and $7 dollars per container.

An electric car doesn't go very fast and are usually small, Gas powered cars have much more torque and speed. Some newer cars run on both so when they are going slow they run on electricity but when they are going fast they run on gas. These are not electric cars though as the fuel used is gas to create the electric power. To answer your question, gas cars are far better because they can go further then 20 miles and are legal on our roads. There are no legal electric cars commercially built.and do not exist.
