TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Ford Fiesta

Ford Fiesta Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Comment
2014	The ostensible point of a three-cylinder engine is superior fuel economy. Fewer cylinders generate less friction. On top of this, the Fiesta's new engine is smaller, just one liter compared to the regular Fiesta's 1.6 and the Fit's 1.5. It is turbocharged to compensate for this size difference. The payoff: EPA ratings compared to the regular Fiesta improve from 28 mpg city, 36 mpg highway to 31 and 43, respectively. With a manual transmission, the Honda rates just a bit better than the regular Fiesta, and well short of the Fiesta EcoBoost on the highway: 29/37. But fit the Fit with a CVT (continously variable transmission), and its ratings roughly match those of the manual-only Fiesta EcoBoost: 33/41. In real-world driving, the Fiesta EcoBoost's fuel economy varies widely depending on how much you exercise the turbo. The trip computer reported suburban averages as high as 51.7 mpg, and as low as 28.6. When I drove the car casually but without care to maximize fuel economy, the trip computer reported about 37 mpg. With some care, about 45. Very good, certainly, but some other small cars with less expensive, more conventional engines (such as the Nissan Versa Note, EPA 27/36 with a manual but 31/40 with a CVT) are about equally good. see full Ford Fiesta review

Ford Fiesta Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	4dr Sedan 120-horsepower 1.6L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Good for the tight pocketbook. see full Ford Fiesta review
2012	4dr Sedan 120-horsepower 1.6L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Great fuel economy. Consumer Reports indicated that it was one of the few cars they have tested that actually got better than EPA during their (sometimes high performance) testing. I am getting better than 38 mpg in a mix of city/highway. see full Ford Fiesta review
2011	4dr Hatch 120-horsepower 1.6L I4 5-speed manual FWD	One of the best combinations of fuel economy and purchase cost you will find in the US. Among the most fuel-efficient inexpensive subcompacts on the market today (though it can be beaten in fuel economy by a number of hybrids that cost significantly more). I've gotten 29-30 mpg in pure city driving, 33-35 in suburbs, and 37-46 on the highway. 5-speed manual has a somewhat lower than ideal 5th gear, which hurts gas mileage over 65 mph (37 mpg was at at 75 mph, 46 mpg at 55-60). Also has a larger than typical tank to go with that efficiency (12.4 gallons), giving you a useful range of up to 500 miles on the highway, and a good 100 miles more per tank than my previous car. Wish list: SFE package with a 6-speed manual "Econ AC" setting that would cool half as strongly and cut out during acceleration auto start-stop the 1-liter ecoboost I've been hearing about for ages but still isn't quite available in the US see full Ford Fiesta review
2011	4dr Hatch 120-horsepower 1.6L I4 6-speed automatic FWD	Mixed bag. Pure highway exceeds 40mpg w/o effort. Lots of very short trips in town (less than 5 minutes total time) 28 MPG. Part may be the gas blend. The lower the average MPH the lower the MPG. see full Ford Fiesta review
2011	4dr Sedan 120-horsepower 1.6L I4 6-speed automatic FWD	29 city, 38 highway and i was able to get around 31 is city commute. enough said. see full Ford Fiesta review

2011	4dr Sedan 120-horsepower 1.6L I4 6-speed automatic FWD	been getting 30mpg in heavy stop and go traffic! see full Ford Fiesta review
2011	4dr Hatch 120-horsepower 1.6L I4 6-speed automatic FWD	So far I have average 34mpg in 60/40 city/hwy driving. I expect to get more as I learn to drive the automated powershift transmission more efficiently (I have been driving manual for many years). see full Ford Fiesta review
2011	4dr Hatch 120-horsepower 1.6L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Cruising at 75 MPH for a road trip I got 40+ mpg. Around town I have got around 30 in mildly spirited driving. see full Ford Fiesta review
2011	4dr Hatch 120-horsepower 1.6L I4 6-speed automatic FWD	Best fuel economy in class. 38mpg highway, without complexity of hybrid power train. see full Ford Fiesta review

2007	4dr SUV 253-horsepower 4.0L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	With moderate driving, I have easily averaged 20+ mpg with mixed city/highway driving and 25+ mpg on long highway-only trips. see full Chrysler Pacifica review

2020	4dr Minivan, ext. 287-horsepower 3.6L V6 9-speed automatic FWD	Fuel economy on a 2k highway speeds road trip in rain, snow, ice, and finally dry heat averaged over 26.7 mpg. City driving average was >18 mpg. *Note this computaion does not factor in any towing. see full Chrysler Pacifica review
2008	4dr SUV 253-horsepower 4.0L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	To be expected but with the rising fuel prices anyone would like to see a little better gas milage see full Chrysler Pacifica review
2007	4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.8L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	barely a difference between highway and city mileage I average about 19.2 in city and 21.5 on freeway see full Chrysler Pacifica review
2006	4dr SUV 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD	I belive we could engineer better fuel economy, or put in a Diesel. Also, Four gears are lacking in a heavy, AWD Vehicle. see full Chrysler Pacifica review
2006	4dr SUV 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	On average I get great mileage in the city 17.5 to 19 mpg. But on the highway I only get 22 unless I stay below 65 then I get 27 see full Chrysler Pacifica review

2004	4dr SUV 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Very heavy car. Gas mileage is fair. see full Chrysler Pacifica review
2004	4dr SUV 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD	With todays fuel prices, the Pacifca is not for you if you city drive. I get around 14 to 16 in the city and on the highway I get around 19 to 21. Not the best out there on the road, but again weight and underpowered is the main cause. see full Chrysler Pacifica review
