smart fortwo Real Gas Mileage: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2013 2dr Hatch 70-horsepower 1.0L I3
5-speed automated manual RWD
good mpg car for the price and simplicity of a lightweight car with only a gas engine. Even if you only get the EPA combined estimate of 36 it is good mpg and competes well in its class. But many smart drivers get much higher. My first 10k miles averaged 45 mpg, based on miles per gallon measured at each fill up, mix of city and freeway. Recently I had 48 mpg and 51 mpg tanks on my usual route. Check Fuelly.com for a realistic picture of mpg to expect. Low 40s mpg is most common. see full smart fortwo review

Depending on how I drive, it gets great mileage. High of 40.1, mixed city and interstate and an absolute low of 33.5 driving it like a kid in a go Kart. see full smart fortwo review

Volkswagen Eos Real Gas Mileage: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 2dr Hardtop conv. turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed manual FWD
On the freeway, I get 32 MPG with the cruise set at 65. Around town, I get about 30, driving conservatively. On my commute, I find that I get 27 if I drive like everyone else, zooming and stopping. If I make an effort to minimize braking, and coast on the hills and where ever possible, I’ve gotten as high as 35 MPG on the same route. The car does need 91 octane—it will run on 89 octane, but the mileage goes down, so it is a false economy. see full Volkswagen Eos review

For my short commute I average 25 mpg. Driving longer distances with the top up I get better than 32 mpg. see full Volkswagen Eos review
Volkswagen Eos Real Gas Mileage: Cons

2012 2dr Hardtop conv. turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed automated manual FWD
I have averaged 27.3 MPG since new which in itself is not bad but the engine requires a minimum of 91 octane fuel. Based on availability that makes it require 93 octane fuel. If the added fuel cost is considered that effectively makes fuel cost the same as a car averaging 25 MPG using 87 octane fuel. Most of my driving is highway and I do not view this as economical for a 2 liter 4. My other car has a 35% more powerful engine and is both larger and heavier but has lower fuel cost. see full Volkswagen Eos review
