TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Audi A3 / S3 / RS3

Audi A3 / S3 / RS3 Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Comment
2016	For a car that can get from zero to 60 mph in under five seconds, the Audi S3 can be quite economical. The tested 2016's EPA ratings were 23 mpg city, 31 mpg highway. For 2017, the S3's ratings have fallen to 21/28 for no obvious reason. Maybe the updates pushed the car into a higher test weight class. I doubt the car's real-world fuel economy has changed. I observed 25 mpg in suburban driving (with a light foot) and nearly 30 mpg on the highway. Despite its more powerful engine, the Mercedes-AMG CLA45 scores even better than the 2017 S3 (if not quite as good as the 2016): 23/30. see full Audi A3 / S3 / RS3 review

2007	4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD	23 cty/30 hwy - this is great fuel economy in a car that can get up and go on the interstate, but still zip around town in style. see full Audi A3 / S3 / RS3 review

2010	2dr Coupe 155-horsepower 2.2L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Around town it's not great, but out on the open road mileage almost doubles. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review
2009	2dr Coupe turbocharged 260hp 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	The fuel economy is very good considering the performance available. I typically get better than 25MPG with a fair bit of city driving and fairly heavy throttle. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review
2009	4dr Sedan turbocharged 260hp 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	In mixed driving I get 25 - 26 MPG, even with 75 mph stints and popping in and out of traffic. In pure highway, gets 28+ at 70+ see full Chevrolet Cobalt review
2008	4dr Sedan 148-horsepower 2.2L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Better than most North American cars. Lower carbon footprint. Cheaper to run. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review
2007	2dr Coupe 173-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Under good highway driving conditions the Cobalt can go 700km on a single tank, but even in harsh conditions fuel economy is reasonable. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review
2007	2dr Coupe 148-horsepower 2.2L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Most neighbors report 35 mpg on hyway. here we do mostly high spped highway. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review
2007	2dr Coupe 173-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	I like that the 2.4L engine is able to put out significantly more power than the 2.2L and keep the same economy. The SS 2.4L is pretty quick and fun to drive and I still get 28 mpg on average just gunning around town with a lead foot and about 20% high see full Chevrolet Cobalt review
2007	2dr Coupe 148-horsepower 2.2L I4 5-speed manual FWD	While not as impressive as some of its competitors, the Cobalt is still good for low to mid 30s if driven properly. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review
2007	2dr Coupe 148-horsepower 2.2L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	34 MPG observed - and this from a roomy stylish car that cost me less that 15,000 see full Chevrolet Cobalt review
2007	2dr Coupe 148-horsepower 2.2L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	While the Cobalt may only get 23mpg in real city driving with a heavy foot, it is still relatively easy to achieve 28mpg in the city and 35+mpg on freeway. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review
