2006 2dr Hatch 201-horsepower 2.0L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 Not amazing, but pretty good for the level of performance. see full Acura RSX review
2005 2dr Hatch 160-horsepower 2.0L I4

5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 If I stay below 68mph I can get 350 miles from 10 gallons of gas. 400 from 12 gallons. City driving 26mpg and I drive very fast. see full Acura RSX review

2003 2dr Hatch 200-horsepower 2.0L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 With fuel prices rising I am very pleased with how efficient the car is with gas. If I decide to take it easy and not use my lead foot, I can get gas mileage that rivals any non-hybrid car of its size. see full Acura RSX review
2002 2dr Hatch 200-horsepower 2.0L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 34 on the highway. see full Acura RSX review

YearBody/PowertrainComment
2002 2dr Hatch 200-horsepower 2.0L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 Around town MPG is unimpressive (around 24) given the extreme lack of torque. The engine is especially gutless below 3000 rpm. I do get 30mpg+ on the highway, though. see full Acura RSX review

YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 4dr Sedan 415-horsepower 6.2L V8
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 Low teens in town, and 24mpg tops on the highway make this a less than ideal economy car. see full Pontiac G8 review
2009 4dr Sedan 256-horsepower 3.6L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 The most MPGs I ever had was 25 and that was all highway driving at about 70. see full Pontiac G8 review
2009 4dr Sedan 361-horsepower 6.0L V8
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 Not bad mileage figures given the size of the car and the beast of an engine, but this is not a car for the hybrid set. see full Pontiac G8 review
2009 4dr Sedan 361-horsepower 6.0L V8
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 Is very low in stop-and-go traffic. Gets better with time, I understand. see full Pontiac G8 review
