23 of 2023’s most gas-guzzling cars

Cars stuck in traffic on the highway at night.

Fluctuating gas prices have many feeling pain at the pump—but owners of gas-guzzling cars feel it more acutely.

Stacker used data from the Department of Energy’s fuel economy database to rank the 23 most gas-guzzling cars of 2023. Duplicate models of the same car line were excluded from this analysis: For example, the data includes information on the Rolls-Royce Ghost, Ghost Black Badge, and Ghost Extended, but this analysis only includes information for the base model, Ghost. Only 2023 model cars were considered, and those included here were released between May 2022 and February 2023.

Gas prices rise due to higher demand and higher costs for crude oil and they typically vary by season. In June 2022, the average price for a gallon of gas was over $5 in many states but fell as demand and crude oil prices sank.

New fuel efficiency standards may help your wallet when gas prices rise. In 2022, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration released new standards that require manufacturers to have a fuel efficiency rating of 49 miles per gallon averaged across all of their models by 2026 and for every model by 2029.

Owning a gas guzzler won’t just cost you more at the pump—cars that get less than 22.5 miles per gallon also incur a “gas-guzzler tax,” which starts at $1,000 but climbs to $7,700 for cars that get less than 12.5 mpg. The tax is…

Gracelyn “Gracie” Hunt, the 24-year-old beauty queen daughter of Chiefs co-owner Clark Hunt and former beauty queen Miss Kansas USA Tavia Hunt, is a multi-tasking heiress. From handling public relations for the Chiefs to pursuing a master’s degree at the University of Kansas and educating her 357K followers on Instagram about fashion and fitness, she seems to be making the most of every minute. We take an in-depth look at the life of an heiress than is more than beauty and baubles. Let us learn about the battles behind the beauty, the struggle behind the strength, and the ambition backed by wealth and faith-


Gracie Hunt grew up in an upstate multi-million dollar mansion in Dallas.
Hunt followed in her mother’s footsteps and won the title of Miss Kansas USA in 2021. However, she is a beauty with brains and a fair dose of brawn from her sports-loving dad. Gracie graduated from Southern Methodist University with a Bachelor’s degree in Sports Management. She is currently pursuing a master’s degree from the University of Kansas. She grew up in the lap of luxury with siblings Ava Hunt and Knobel Hunt in a sports-focused home.

The affluent Hunts live on a 1.3-acre property in the wealthy enclave of Highland Park. The 12,300 square feet abode flaunts six bedrooms, lush green lawns, and reeks of richness. Contrary to little girls who played with dolls, Hunt admitted in an interview with Fox that her sports background was ‘such a joy’ and…

It’s hard to believe McLaren has been in the road-car game for little more than a decade. (Granted, it was nearly 30 years ago that the McLaren F1 became the be-all and end-all for enthusiasts, but McLaren didn’t produce another street car for years afterward.) Since 2011, the storied Formula 1 brand has launched several root models and completely upset the supercar hierarchy that a pair of Italian companies had long dominated. And while all of those models, including the MP4-12C, the 570S, the Senna, and the 720S, have their own character, they’ve all shared a very similar set of components. The Artura is new, and not like your favorite streaming service’s latest round of reboots. New as in never before. Think Severance, not Bel-Air. For all intents, it is McLaren’s second series-production car. And it’s a plug-in hybrid.

The Artura’s 181-pound carbon-fiber tub looks a lot like the old one manufactured by Carbo Tech in Austria, only it’s stronger and lighter and has a cavity that incorporates the audio system’s subwoofer. It’s also now made in-house at McLaren’s carbon-fiber factory in Sheffield, England. The engine, a 120-degree 577-hp twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6, is more of a departure. All McLarens before (except the F1, with its BMW V-12) used…

The Lamborghini Huracan first hit the pavement in 2014, and though it is nearing 10 years in production, the supercar has lost none of its Lambo luster. The Huracan serves as the replacement for Gallardo, and as Lamborghini looks to hybridize and electrify its lineup in the coming years, it will serve as the swan song for Lambo’s highly-touted naturally aspirated V-10 engine. But Lamborghini has shown it is far from done with its V-10 supercar.

In fact, with the debut of the all-terrain-ready Huracan Sterrato, the Huracan lineup — which also features the track-attacking STO, the ultra-performance Tecnica and Spyer convertibles — is perhaps more exciting than ever. No matter the model, the Huracan delivers on the expectations for Lamborghini — loud, fast, and thrilling to both pilot and view.

No one likes getting their car serviced. It usually involves an inconvenient time followed by a pushy service advisor who tries to up-charge you on every single thing you have. If you’re not careful, a simple $60 oil change can easily turn into a $500 sell that handedly goes into the advisor’s pocket. Now while the dealership rolls in dough, you feel confused on what in the world they just charged you for. Now, how much do you pay for a tire change? $600? $700? If you’re going all in with Pilot Sports, we can assume north of a grand.

However, for the McLaren F1, a run-of-the-mill service doesn’t come so cheap. A single routine tire change will run you upwards of $50,000. Yes. That’s 50 with three zeroes after it. Safe to say the McLaren F1 isn’t a frugal individual’s dream car. Costing $800,000 at the time of sale in the late 90’s, McLaren made you really commit to the car… with your bank account of course.

McLaren F1 Tire Change Requires A Racetrack

It might seem hard to rationalize such a huge cost for something as trivial as a flat tire. But one must understand that this isn’t a trivial vehicle. It’s a Mecca of modern day supercars. The individuals purchasing McLaren F1s don’t take their car to the local dealership, instead they expect a top-notch experience. That’s why in order to change a tire on the F1, the company and the car must go through a rigorous process to make sure that the work of art, stays just that– a…

There have always been certain cars that are much more expensive than others. This could be due to all sorts of different reasons. It could be because they’re incredibly luxurious, packed with all the latest innovations you can get in a car. It could be because they’re incredibly fast and needed some serious performance engineering to make them that way. It could also be because they’re handcrafted, limited-production cars, or ones that are made bespoke or almost bespoke to every single customer.

Every so often, though, a car will come along whose price is so huge that you almost don’t believe that it’s real. These stupendously priced cars can have values that run well into the millions of dollars. This makes them pricey status symbols that only the wealthiest among us can afford. This is especially the case with luxury cars, as they are the most likely to remain hugely expensive as time goes on.

10 Rolls-Royce Phantom – $700,000+

If you’re looking for a byword for luxury, there isn’t one that’s any better than Rolls-Royce. Rolls-Royce has always prided itself on making what it considers to be the best and most luxurious cars in the world. The modern version of the Phantom has been the figurehead of that for decades now. It’s an ultra-smooth, ultra-refined luxury sedan, with plenty of power and all the tech you could possibly want.

The Rolls-Royce Phantom starts off at around $700,000. How high the price can go, though, is almost…
