best for non-hybrid gasoline |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe 171-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
I drove fast, all the time, and still averaged 28mpg. |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe 171-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
The Ecotech engine is one of the most economical on the road today. |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe 148-horsepower 2.2L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
once broken in and done properlly, and driven with the engine in its proper spot for efficiency in its powerband, its a great fuel efficient car that has tons of power to surprise! |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe 148-horsepower 2.2L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
24/33 for the manual transmission are pretty good fuel economy numbers. I beat the highway numbers on a long trip by a few points if I keep it at 65 mph (a/c on). |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe 171-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
For a performance model very well average 22-23 mpg city |
| 2007 | 2dr Coupe 173-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
The G5 blends the mileage and power that I was looking for in a car that would do primary duty for commuting to work and back. Was looking to get 30-33 mpg. |
| 2007 | 2dr Coupe 148-horsepower 2.2L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Very good economy even when driving it hard. |
| 2007 | 2dr Coupe 173-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
