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

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	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

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

Volkswagen Eos Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2009	2dr Hardtop conv. turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD	On the freeway, I get 32 MPG with the cruise set at 65. Around town, I get about 30, driving conservatively. On my commute, I find that I get 27 if I drive like everyone else, zooming and stopping. If I make an effort to minimize braking, and coast on the hills and where ever possible, I’ve gotten as high as 35 MPG on the same route. The car does need 91 octane—it will run on 89 octane, but the mileage goes down, so it is a false economy. see full Volkswagen Eos review
2008	2dr Hardtop conv. turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD	31 mpg plus on road trips see full Volkswagen Eos review
2008	2dr Hardtop conv. turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD	For my short commute I average 25 mpg. Driving longer distances with the top up I get better than 32 mpg. see full Volkswagen Eos review

Volkswagen Eos Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	2dr Hardtop conv. turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD	I have averaged 27.3 MPG since new which in itself is not bad but the engine requires a minimum of 91 octane fuel. Based on availability that makes it require 93 octane fuel. If the added fuel cost is considered that effectively makes fuel cost the same as a car averaging 25 MPG using 87 octane fuel. Most of my driving is highway and I do not view this as economical for a 2 liter 4. My other car has a 35% more powerful engine and is both larger and heavier but has lower fuel cost. see full Volkswagen Eos review
