The fuel economy when drive correctly provides almost 30 MPG for Hwy driving. see full Volvo C30 review

It is not as good as I would like. see full Volvo C30 review
2008 2dr Hatch turbocharged 227hp 2.5L I5

The MPG is not terrible(22-24 combined mpg). But for a small car, most people would expect 30+mpg(28 at the least). see full Volvo C30 review

Ill admit that when I drove the C30 I was driving fast. I rented it for a weekend to see if I wanted to buy it or not. And I went thru an entire tank in less than 200 miles. see full Volvo C30 review

While its not a hybrid, when you move from a gas-guzzling minivan to the Touring, it feels like you are no longer owned by the oil companies. see full Hyundai Elantra Touring review
2012 4dr Wagon 138-horsepower 2.0L I4

I was somewhat disappointed by the fuel economy of this car. You are not going to see the 40 mpg numbers like the standard elantra. I drive in the city and get 25-30mpg on average. Typical highway mileage is pretty good though - I got between 35-37 mpg. see full Hyundai Elantra Touring review
2011 4dr Wagon 138-horsepower 2.0L I4

The fuel economy of the car has been exactly as advertised, unlike the new Elantra design. The Elantra Touring has consistently recorded 27 mpg in city driving and 33+ mpg in highway driving. see full Hyundai Elantra Touring review

Typically 35 mpg on the highway. see full Hyundai Elantra Touring review

28 mpg in all suburban driving. Very impressive for a car rated 22/30 see full Hyundai Elantra Touring review
2010 4dr Wagon 138-horsepower 2.0L I4

Averaging 35-36 mpg, with as high as 41.5 mpg. This is great for a vehicle with a EPA rating of 30 MPG for the highway. see full Hyundai Elantra Touring review

Excellent highway economy, topping 40MPG (downhill, with a tailwind, mostly coasting - but it is still possible!) see full Hyundai Elantra Touring review
