Scion iQ Real Gas Mileage: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2014 2dr Hatch 94-horsepower 1.3L I4
CVT FWD
I pretty much have been ignoring the ECO light lately just to see what my MPG is, and I've been getting an average of 35. Pretty close to the 36/37. see full Scion iQ review
2013 2dr Hatch 94-horsepower 1.3L I4
CVT FWD
So far this car has lived up to the MPG ratings of 36 city/37 hwy. You have to drive it with a light foot and try to keep the "eco" light on as much as possible to achieve that mpg rating. If you're too heavy on the gas, it'll quickly drop to around 30/31. see full Scion iQ review

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

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
