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

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

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

The most MPGs I ever had was 25 and that was all highway driving at about 70. see full Pontiac G8 review

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
