In March, Muslims around the world will observe the fast during Ramadan. In Indonesia, Ramadan is a special moment as it marks the time for families to return home and celebrate Eid Al-Fitr.
Although there are many transportation options for the homecoming trip, using a car can be the right choice. Cars are often considered more economical and convenient than other transportation modes.
Furthermore, budgeting money is crucial during the homecoming trip, as expenses go beyond transportation (gasoline and tolls) and include giving “THR” (holiday bonuses) to relatives and other miscellaneous costs.
Of course, not all cars are considered fuel-efficient. Therefore, it’s essential to choose the right car before embarking on a homecoming trip. To help you decide, here are some cars known for being fuel-efficient.
