Acura TLX Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Comment
2015	Compared to the Honda Accord, the Acura TLX has stronger engines and different, more performance-oriented transmissions. As a result, fuel economy takes a bit of a hit. Focusing on the four-cylinder, the EPA ratings are 27/36 for the Honda and 24/35 for the Acura. The latter is a nice bump over the 22/31 of last year's TSX, though, and also compares favorably to the MKZ's 22/33. In my driving, the trip computer reported averages ranging between 24 and 36 mpg in the suburbs (the high number when I was especially easy on the pedals) and high 30s on the highway. Of course, if fuel economy is a priority you can get the MKZ in hybrid form. Acura offers no such option. But the MKZ Hybrid is relatively sluggish. If you want a combination of good performance and good fuel economy in the same car (if not during the same drive), the TLX 2.4 has an edge. see full Acura TLX review

2010	4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.8L I4 CVT FWD	Does quite well for a car being aerodynamically shaped like a toaster. see full Nissan cube review
2009	4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.8L I4 CVT FWD	WE GET 30 MPG AROUND TOWN. GETS UP TO 42 ON HIGHWAY. see full Nissan cube review
2009	4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.8L I4 CVT FWD	For me, it is better than I had expected. It is rated at 28 city, and 30 highway. I have yet to get less than 32 mpg on a tankfull. That is mostly suburb driving near Atlanta. I am not a heavy footed driver though. see full Nissan cube review
2009	4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.8L I4 CVT FWD	Averaging a tad under 30 city and hiway, with an auto. Thats pretty good. see full Nissan cube review
2009	4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.8L I4 6-speed manual FWD	I think the milage is pretty good for it not being a super-high milage (yet smaller) economy car. see full Nissan cube review
2009	4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.8L I4 CVT FWD	Excellent around-city economy. see full Nissan cube review
