It only gets about 25mpg in a mixed cycle. Fit would get 28mpg or better in same driving. see full Toyota Matrix review

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. see full Toyota Matrix review
