Toyota Matrix Gas Mileage (MPG)

Toyota Matrix Gas Mileage (MPG):

Unlike other fuel economy surveys, TrueDelta's Real-World Gas Mileage Survey includes questions about how and where a car was driven. So you can get an idea of the Toyota Matrix's real-world MPG based on how and where you drive a car.

2009 4dr Hatch 132-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 should be good
2006 4dr Hatch 118-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic AWD		 We purchased our Matrix NEW June of 2006, we now (21 Dec 2012) have 82,000 miles and I have monitored the mileage since we purchased the car. We get 24 in city driving and the VERY best we've got on a long freeway drive was 30mpg. Overall our mileage for the 80,000 miles is 27 which isn't great but is acceptable.
2005 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Front WD w/ 4sp auto, great highway mileage, but not near the advertised ratings
2004 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4

2004 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4

4-speed automatic FWD		 Very economical on gas.
2004 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Have never gotten less than 28 MPG, even when driving hard and in mountains. Usually get between 30 and 31 in the rolling country where I live. Have gotten over 34.

Toyota Matrix Fuel Economy: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 4dr Hatch 132-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 good, but should be much better
2008 4dr Hatch 126-horsepower 1.8L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 It only gets about 25mpg in a mixed cycle. Fit would get 28mpg or better in same driving.
2007 4dr Hatch 126-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 expected the famous corolla frugality and efficiency - it has the same powertrain. we were totally disappointed. below freezing point, fuel consumption was scary: 17-20 l/100km. the best mileage we got was only 10 l/100 km.
2005 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Not even close to what is advertised
