2013 4dr Hatch turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel
6-speed automated manual FWD		 Spectacular. I'm completely sold on diesel. Car can get well over 40mpg on the highway. Worst I've seen thus far is ~36mpg on a tank.
2009 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed automated manual AWD		 Good fuel economy for a sport car w/ some cargo space.
2008 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed automated manual FWD		 28-30mpg while getting o it!
2008 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 Higher than expected for a turbo engine (average about 30 highway and 22 city).
2008 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed automated manual FWD		 I am getting 30+ MPG in mixed 50/50 city/hwy driving. Hwy MPG if <70 MPH is easily 34 MPG+. If it had 7 gears, MPG at 70+ would be far better.
2007 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed automated manual FWD		 While the 2.0T has power to spare, it can also achieve excellent economy when driven lightly. I average 26 mpg/city with spirited driving, and I hit 32 mpg/highway easily (36+ mpg when babying it). The DSG transmission is more efficient than a manual too!

6-speed automated manual FWD		 I have the APR Stage 2 chip with a catless downpipe. Putting down about 235hp and 250tq. On a recent 250 mile each way trip I got 28mpg at 70mph. Going up many hills and possibly passing some people with my foot on the floor. TL;DR V6 power with 2.0 mpg.
