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

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

2012	4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Average fuel economy at 22.5 MPG is lower than expected but still not bad. see full Kia Sorento review
2011	4dr SUV 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed manual FWD	For a rather large crossover the fuel economy is absolutely amazing, check it out, it speaks for itself, and in the frist month we are getting exactly the rated efficiency, very pleased. see full Kia Sorento review
2011	4dr SUV 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	30% better than my previous vehicle see full Kia Sorento review
2011	4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Always want more MPG but it is at least 25% better than my 2006 Ford Explorer. After 15K miles of highway, city and occasionally pulling a 5'x10' trailer, I'm averaging exactly 20.9 MPG. see full Kia Sorento review
2011	4dr SUV 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	I average 22 mpg in mosty city driving. Not bad for its size and weight. see full Kia Sorento review
2007	4dr SUV 262-horsepower 3.8L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	For a bulky and powerful SUV, it achieves a greater gas mileage than expected. see full Kia Sorento review

2012	4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Horrible fuel especially in stop and go traffic. I drive approximately 30 miles per day and within a week the take is nearly empty. see full Kia Sorento review
2012	4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	I expected the fuel economy to be somewhat better than 22.5 MPG. see full Kia Sorento review
2011	4dr SUV 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	my commute is very short and I am averaging 16mpg despite the 'eco'light being on, which sucks see full Kia Sorento review
2011	4dr SUV 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	About 20 to 25% less than EPA estimates see full Kia Sorento review
2011	4dr SUV 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The window sticker said it would get 29 mpg on the highway. I did a 500 mile trip and averaged 25 mpg. On my last 5 vehicles I averaged 2 to 3 mpg more than the window sticker when on the highway. Something is wrong with this picture. see full Kia Sorento review
2008	4dr SUV turbocharged 168hp 2.5L I4 Diesel 5-speed shiftable automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	Not been brave enough to calculate fuel economy yet, but my Audi A6 1.9tdi used to return 33mpg whilst towing. I doubt the Sorento will get near that even solo! see full Kia Sorento review
2005	4dr SUV 192-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	Getting 14-15 MPG out of a V6. Wish it were closer to 20 MPG. see full Kia Sorento review

2005	4dr SUV 192-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	Not great but we knew that going in. I try to drive as economically as possible and can usually squeeze 18-19 mpg in mixed driving (70%/30% split between highway and local). see full Kia Sorento review
