Consumers considering applying for a car loan to buy a new vehicle might be interested in new research from the federal government that identifies the most fuel-intensive automobiles.

According to news.com.au, the list is topped by the Holden Commodore - which is also one of the country's best-selling cars.

On average, the study for the Green Vehicle Guide found, the Commodore cost $2,430 a year in petrol, while releasing 3.8 tonnes of carbon dioxide.

It was followed by the Ford Falcon at $2,272 a year in petrol costs and 3.6 tonnes of carbon emissions.

In third place was the Mazda 3, which cost $1,845 a year in fuel, while the Toyota Carolla was ranked fourth with annual petrol costs of $1,672.

At the other end of the scale, the Toyota Yaris was the conventional car with the cheapest fuel bill in the study at $1,350 a year.

Cars with five-star environmental ratings and hybrid vehicles were also ranked for their running costs, the site says, with the Toyota Prius - the car favoured by environmentally-conscious Hollywood stars such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Cameron Diaz and Tom Hanks - named the cheapest to run at $990 a year.

The Fiat 500, Fiat Punto and Citroen C3 were also named among the top environmental performers by the government's site.

Commenting on the results, transport minister Anthony Albanese said: "More than ever, it's important to consider not only the car's ticket price but also its ongoing running and environmental costs."

According to a report for the Motoring Channel cited by webwombat.com, 1.05 million new cars were sold in Australia last year - a new record.
