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

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

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

2003 4dr Sedan 182-horsepower 3.0L V6
4-speed automatic FWD		 I am getting 22mpg around town when it is not winter and about 20mpg in winter, on the highway 26-27mpg @70mph, loaded for trips. see full Saturn L-Series review

YearBody/PowertrainComment
2003 4dr Sedan 182-horsepower 3.0L V6
4-speed automatic FWD		 Average 25 miles per gallon seems quite low for this size car, even if it has a six cylinder engine. see full Saturn L-Series review
2000 4dr Sedan 182-horsepower 3.0L V6
4-speed automatic FWD		 It...sucks. For a 190hp v6 I expected 23 or more. I get as low as 17 in the winter, and I max out at 25 at any time in the year all highway. With new plugs I am getting 21-22 around the suburbs, compared to 18/19 earlier. see full Saturn L-Series review
2000 4dr Wagon 182-horsepower 3.0L V6
4-speed automatic FWD		 It is way too much fun to drive this car fast, and it will use a lot of fuel if you have a lead foot. Save the high revs for special occasions, and highway mileage can be close to 30 mpg. see full Saturn L-Series review
