Subaru will roll out two limited-production, STI-tuned performance models 
 in early 2018: the WRX STI Type RA sedan and the BRZ tS coupe.
As Cars.com's 2019 Luxury Car of the Year, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class 
 sets the standard for luxury. But what does that kind of class get you at 
 the gas pump? How much will you pay?
The Honda Civic is a mainstay of the brand's lineup, and minimal changes 
 for 2019 shouldn't do anything to radically affect its popularity. But what

Another week, another drop in pump prices for most American motorists. 
 So what would it cost you at the pump if you're driving a 2019 Mercedes-
 Benz CLA-Class?
AAA said gas prices fell nationwide once again this week. So what would 
 that mean for your wallet if you're behind the wheel of a 2018 Ford 
 Explorer?
Lower gas prices have been a welcome sight for owners of all types of 
 vehicles, especially those that require premium gas like the 2019 Toyota

 performance. What does that translate to paying at the pump this week?
For a large family, a king-size SUV like the 2019 Chevrolet Suburban might

Gas prices dropping means filling up a 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback 
 would cost less than it did last week. But how much, exactly?
