Hyundai Veloster Real Gas Mileage: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2015 3dr Hatch 132-horsepower 1.6L I4
6-speed automated manual FWD
The Base model Veloster gets decently good fuel economy, thanks to the DCT. 27 City, 34 Highway is the adjusted EPA estimate, but I have achieved almost 42 MPG before on an economy cruise, just by driving with great care towards economy (but not hypermiling). see full Hyundai Veloster review
2013 3dr Hatch 132-horsepower 1.6L I4
6-speed automated manual FWD
I get on average 33mpg with mostly tollway driving at about 70mph or higher. see full Hyundai Veloster review

Consistently get more than 30mpg, and have gotten 40+ mpg at times. Digital display lets me know what my fuel economy is and number of miles until I run out of gas. see full Hyundai Veloster review

An AWD V8 body on frame SUV/truck like the Rainier will be a gas pig. Mid to high teens are all you should expect. The benefit of poor gas mileage is strong towing performance. see full Buick Rainier review
