Toyota Matrix Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2009	4dr Hatch 132-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	should be good see full Toyota Matrix review
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. see full Toyota Matrix review
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 see full Toyota Matrix review
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. see full Toyota Matrix review

2004	4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Great fuel economy for a 1.8L with 30 MPG on the highway and a 500km range. see full Toyota Matrix review
2004	4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	With K&N air intake, we got 34mpg on freeway, and it adds 5hp to 10hp when you need to pass other cars. see full Toyota Matrix review
2004	4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Very good 28 city 33 highway see full Toyota Matrix review
2003	4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Haul 600# of sports cargo during trips. Car does 36 mpg if speed <=60 mph, 33 mpg <=70, 30 mpg under 80 and 28 under 90 mph. see full Toyota Matrix review
2003	4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Gets approx 32 miles per gallon on average see full Toyota Matrix review

Toyota Matrix Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2009	4dr Hatch 132-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	good, but should be much better see full Toyota Matrix review
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. see full Toyota Matrix review
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. see full Toyota Matrix review
2005	4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Not even close to what is advertised see full Toyota Matrix review

What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Gas Mileage of the Hyundai Santa Fe

Hyundai Santa Fe Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	4dr SUV turbocharged 194hp 2.2L I4 Diesel 6-speed manual AWD	Date is Sept 30 2013. It has a 2.2 litre diesel engine with manual gearbox. 6th gear is very useful on a long run as it acts as an overdrive. It has travelled 7509 miles at average of 38.42mpg imperial. It will easily exceed 41mpg on a long run. My Kia Sportage diesel travelled 15051 miles and averaged 37.85mpg imperial. Both vehicles were full of luggage for 29% of their mileage. Worst fuel consumption was 32.23mpg over 495 miles, all short runs so no complaints there. Best was 41.47mpg over 523 miles. Kia Sportage best was 48.59mpg and worst was 29.88mpg see full Hyundai Santa Fe review
2010	4dr SUV 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Can be better but equal to my previos 2007 tucson see full Hyundai Santa Fe review
2008	4dr SUV 185-horsepower 2.7L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	We have only filled it up 3 times. Which only gives us two checks of MPG. First was 20.94 and the second was 21.96. With fewer than 1000 miles on the car our MPG could change. The sedan we traded averaged 22.8 so I will be happy if our mileage comes close see full Hyundai Santa Fe review
2008	4dr SUV 242-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	I am currently getting an average of 22-23 MPG, mostly city driving in this vehicle. I previously had a Dodge Ram 1500 Quadcab 4x4 which got an average of 11-12 MPG in the same conditions. Gas prices have driven me to change vehicles. see full Hyundai Santa Fe review
2007	4dr SUV turbocharged 148hp 2.2L I4 Diesel 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	I drive the Diesel, so it is VERY economical. And here, on Aruba, Diesel is about 18cts per liter cheaper. see full Hyundai Santa Fe review
2005	4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Getting ~ 20MPG using BP regular unleaded from Kroger. Quick Trip in Loganville, GA for some as yet undetermined reason is consistently 1 to 2 MPG less??? Still, this is a far superior fuel economy realized from a full time 4WD SUV over my 96 Durango V-8 see full Hyundai Santa Fe review
2004	4dr SUV 173-horsepower 2.7L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	For a car of this size and weight, fuel economy is decent. see full Hyundai Santa Fe review

2012	4dr SUV turbocharged 194hp 2.2L I4 Diesel 6-speed manual AWD	I would like 100 mpg on short trips. see full Hyundai Santa Fe review
2011	4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Guzzles in stop and go traffic. ECO indicator is just that and not entirely believable at that. see full Hyundai Santa Fe review
2010	4dr SUV 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Only getting between 22-23 mpg around town on 4 cyl. My previous 6 cyl got 23-24. But the 4 cyl is surprisingly peppy. see full Hyundai Santa Fe review
2009	4dr SUV 242-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	It is a 3.3L 6 cylinder ( 242HP) engine, driven in mostly city driving....17.7 city MPG is realistic, but not amazing. In general, I would say the Santa Fe is average in fuel economy for a 6 cylinder SUV, but it is not outstanding in this area. see full Hyundai Santa Fe review
2008	4dr SUV 242-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	got less MPG than the Escape see full Hyundai Santa Fe review
2008	4dr SUV 242-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	not bad for an SUV, but still expensive to fill its large tank. Goes about 600 km on a tank, at $1.20/L (in Canada) costs $80 see full Hyundai Santa Fe review
2007	4dr SUV 185-horsepower 2.7L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Should be able to do better than 17 MPG around town with a 2.7L. see full Hyundai Santa Fe review
2007	4dr SUV 185-horsepower 2.7L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Expected better than 20mpg see full Hyundai Santa Fe review
2007	4dr SUV 242-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Not bad for its class, but certainly not a fuel sipper. see full Hyundai Santa Fe review
2007	4dr SUV 242-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Could be better. Wish it had the 6 speed auto instead of the 5speed. see full Hyundai Santa Fe review
