I can carry my family, in comfort, for long trips and still get 30mpg+. Around town driving returns 23+ mpg. This mileage is within 2-3 mpg of the smaller 2003 Focus we replaced. see full Mercury Milan review

We consistently get around 30 MPG - and this is computed from amount of fuel and miles travelled, not from the "trip computer." This is a darn nice-size car to deliver that kind of fuel economy. see full Mercury Milan review

Hyundi Sonata with similar size engine and a 5-speed automatic delivers 22/32. Malibu with a 2.4 and a 6-speed delivers 22/32. Focus/Milan with a 2.3 and 5-speed auto 20/28. Initial freeway driving is consistent in the 28-30 mpg range. Competitors better. see full Mercury Milan review

The car does get excellent fuel economy- IF you can keep your foot out of it. I rarely succeed in that endeavor- the car is just too much fun to drive, the embodiment of "driving a slow car, fast." see full Mazda Protege review

Not too bad, the roof rack hurts it a bit. gets a solid 22-25 driving 70-75 on highway. Does get 30mpg at 60 mph, but that speed will get you killed on California interstates. see full Mazda Protege review

Suburban fuel economy is acceptable, at nearly 30 mpg. But on the highway, with the engine spinning well over 3,000 rpm, fuel economy also struggles to crack 30. Many much larger, much more powerful cars achieve better highway fuel economy. Some owners have fitted the fifth gear from the related transmission in the Mazda6 to get more of an overdrive. see full Mazda Protege review
