2003	4dr Sedan 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	On a recent trip from Charlottetown, PE, Canada to Halifax, NS my car averaged 35 miles per US gallon, or over 730km per tank of fuel. As a Merchandiser, my job requires a lot of city Driving and I average 600km per tank of gas see full Mazda Protege review
2003	4dr Sedan turbocharged 170hp 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	A turbo sedan that got me 35mpg all-highway, and gets 28+ in mixed driving. see full Mazda Protege review
2003	4dr Sedan 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Great fuel economy my first tank was 28mpg, my second one with my cold air intake installed got it over 30! see full Mazda Protege review
2003	4dr Wagon 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	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
2003	4dr Sedan 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Great fuel efficiency but still retains a lot of pep and zip. see full Mazda Protege review
2003	4dr Wagon 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	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
2003	4dr Wagon 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	ave 30 mpg+ see full Mazda Protege review
2002	4dr Wagon 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	I average right around 30mpg with mixed driving, a little highway-biased. I've been satisfied with the overall gas mileage. see full Mazda Protege review
2002	4dr Wagon 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	30+ mpg highway. 28 city. Not too shabby. see full Mazda Protege review

Mazda Protege Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2003	4dr Wagon 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	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
2003	4dr Wagon 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	not good for a small 4 cyl. i have had better economy on the same roads with bigger and simmilar cars see full Mazda Protege review

2001	4dr Sedan 103-horsepower 1.6L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	It was significantly lower than Toyota or Honda at the time. see full Mazda Protege review

2014	4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 1.6L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Gas mileage has never been as advertised, even with all highway driving. We avg more like 34 highway, 26 city. see full Hyundai Accent review

2010	2dr Hatch 110-horsepower 1.6L I4 5-speed manual FWD	You get close to Hybrid-like mpg without the added cost of a hybrid. One of the highest mileage subcompact cars sold in America today. Drinks regular gas. see full Hyundai Accent review

2008	2dr Hatch 110-horsepower 1.6L I4 5-speed manual FWD	I average about 30 miles per gallon city/highway... about 27 mpg just city and over 36 mpg just highway. see full Hyundai Accent review

2007	2dr Hatch 110-horsepower 1.6L I4 5-speed manual FWD	On my first long trip (Tucson to Guadalajara) I obtained 36.9 miles per gallon with air conditioning on.

2006	4dr Sedan turbocharged 109hp 1.5L I4 Diesel 5-speed manual FWD	Directly related to driving style, of course. 3.9L/100km achieved with smoothest driving prior to chiptuning and 4.5L/100km after - determined based on 800-900 km drives between refuelling. see full Hyundai Accent review

Hyundai Accent Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2014	0	MPG is the worst thing about this car. Lucky to get 30 mpg on flat roads without A/C running. My 10 year old Malibu got about 26 mpg and was a much heavier car with a more powerful engine. see full Hyundai Accent review
2010	4dr Sedan 110-horsepower 1.6L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Seems to average 8L or less all seasons for city driving, typically Highway mountain driving at 90km/h you can easily average 5 L Per 100km as you go faster it consumes more gas. Pretty standard with any vehicle. see full Hyundai Accent review
