TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Audi A3 / S3 / RS3

Audi A3 / S3 / RS3 Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Comment
2016	For a car that can get from zero to 60 mph in under five seconds, the Audi S3 can be quite economical. The tested 2016's EPA ratings were 23 mpg city, 31 mpg highway. For 2017, the S3's ratings have fallen to 21/28 for no obvious reason. Maybe the updates pushed the car into a higher test weight class. I doubt the car's real-world fuel economy has changed. I observed 25 mpg in suburban driving (with a light foot) and nearly 30 mpg on the highway. Despite its more powerful engine, the Mercedes-AMG CLA45 scores even better than the 2017 S3 (if not quite as good as the 2016): 23/30. see full Audi A3 / S3 / RS3 review

2013	4dr Hatch turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed automated manual FWD	Spectacular. I'm completely sold on diesel. Car can get well over 40mpg on the highway. Worst I've seen thus far is ~36mpg on a tank. see full Audi A3 / S3 / RS3 review
2009	4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual AWD	Good fuel economy for a sport car w/ some cargo space. see full Audi A3 / S3 / RS3 review

2008	4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD	I am getting 30+ MPG in mixed 50/50 city/hwy driving. Hwy MPG if <70 MPH is easily 34 MPG+. If it had 7 gears, MPG at 70+ would be far better. see full Audi A3 / S3 / RS3 review
2007	4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD	23 cty/30 hwy - this is great fuel economy in a car that can get up and go on the interstate, but still zip around town in style. see full Audi A3 / S3 / RS3 review

Acura TSX Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Average 28mpg over the past 6000 miles of mixed driving. Hit 36 mpg in about 200 highways miles this weekend. see full Acura TSX review
2012	4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Besides price, this was my primary reason for choosing the TSX over the TL. I don't have a lead foot but average about 25-27 mpg overall. On the freeway I'm easily over 30mpg and can run 500 miles on a tank of gas. see full Acura TSX review
2010	4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Surprisingly good fuel economy. Averaging around 27 mpg even with mixed driving conditions and a lead foot more often than not. Beats the EPA estimates easily especially in highway driving where 32+ MPG is possible. see full Acura TSX review
2010	4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed manual FWD	Honda Accord equivalent and a lot more fun to drive. see full Acura TSX review
2010	4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed manual FWD	With 100% highway miles, expect about 30 mpg. I have averaged about 24-25 mpg over 5 tanks in about 50/50 city/highway. see full Acura TSX review
2009	4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed manual FWD	Wonderful...............better than manufacturer quoted. see full Acura TSX review
2009	4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Average fuel economy has been around 28mpg in the city and up to 37mpg on the high, according to the trip computer. see full Acura TSX review

2009	4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Better milage than my VW Golf 1.8! Golf is a smaller car, less powerful (great ride though!). Fuel economy with the TSX almost certainly better...given the highway miles I put on. see full Acura TSX review
2007	4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	While easy driving, the car runs at very low REVs. see full Acura TSX review

2011	4dr Wagon 201-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Fuel economy for mixed city and highway is not very good for my driving style: between 20 and 23 mpg. I don't drive with the pedal down! see full Acura TSX review
2004	4dr Sedan 200-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed manual FWD	the fact you "should" use premium gas makes it expensive to run as a 4 cylinder car see full Acura TSX review
2004	4dr Sedan 200-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed manual FWD	With my admittedly brick-like right foot, I'm lucky to get 24 MPG in mixed driving, which isn't stellar for a 6MT four-cylinder. (With California premium gas, no less.) see full Acura TSX review
