2012	4dr Sedan 292-horsepower 3.6L V6 8-speed shiftable automatic RWD	I average 31Mpg highway, 'nuff said. see full Chrysler 300 review
2012	4dr Sedan 470-horsepower 6.4L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD	This car has a 6.4-Liter V8 engine which produces more horsepower and torque than you'd ever need for any passing situation or any driving situation. That is, unless your las t name is "Andretti". The first of the 2nd gen 300 models I drove was the 390HP V8 in the AWD model, followed by the Pentastar V6. see full Chrysler 300 review
2011	4dr Sedan 292-horsepower 3.6L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD	I am light footed when it comes to driving and this car with the 3.6 will return very favourable fuel economy when treated as such. This car had 500 km when I purchased it and now has 1800 km and highway mileage is consistently at 7.3 L/100Km. see full Chrysler 300 review
2005	4dr Sedan 340-horsepower 5.7L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD	The MDS allows decent fuel economy for the super-quick acceleration and fun to drive factor of a large 8 cylinder engine. see full Chrysler 300 review

Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2009	4dr Sedan 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Average 23mpg overall. Temperatures under 30 degrees and the AWD is always on and got 19mpg on the highway. Not bad for a 4400lb car, not good if you pay for gas. see full Chrysler 300 review
2008	4dr Sedan 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic RWD	I am not impressed with the fuel economy that my car gets. It only gets 22-24 mpg. The sticker states 26-28. I get that it is a bigger, heavier car, but they need to be more honest and realistic about the mpg. see full Chrysler 300 review
2008	4dr Sedan 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic RWD	I get about 20-25% worse fuel economy than EPA specified in the city, although on the highway I do 5-10% better, despite my occasional lack of regard for the posted speed limit. see full Chrysler 300 review
2008	4dr Sedan 178-horsepower 2.7L V6 4-speed automatic RWD	Way lower than what I had expected see full Chrysler 300 review
2007	4dr Sedan 350-horsepower 5.7L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Like any high performance vehicle, too much use of the throttle is--EXPENSIVE! see full Chrysler 300 review
2006	4dr Sedan 340-horsepower 5.7L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	From a social conscious view the 19 MPG AVG is poor, especially with gas costing $4 a gal. But face it, considering the performance you get... I can live with the guilt and high cost of driving. see full Chrysler 300 review
2006	4dr Sedan 340-horsepower 5.7L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Expected fuel economy to be closer to 17 mpg in city driving. see full Chrysler 300 review

2005	4dr Sedan 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD	18 mpg city and 31 mpg highway in Canadian gallons. U.S. would be 0.8 of the value. see full Chrysler 300 review

TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Honda Insight

Honda Insight Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Comment
2020	Honda's initial approach to hybrid powertrain technology wasn't a winner. A weak electric motor (13 horsepower in the case of the 2010 Insight) sandwiched between a gas engine and a CVT wasn't able to deliver nearly as much of a performance or fuel economy bump as the much stronger electric motors in Toyota's radically different hybrid system. Starting with the 2014 Accord Hybrid, Honda tried a new approach. The new system relied entirely on a much more powerful (166 horsepower) electric motor to drive the wheels up to 43 mph, and only then directly engaged the gas engine via a single-speed transmission. This was the sort of elegant "we keep it simple" solution Honda used to be known for, and it worked far better. EPA ratings of 50 mpg city and 45 mpg highway were best-in-class, topping the Toyota Camry Hybrid. This system received further tweaks when the Accord was redesigned for 2018, with mixed results for mpg (now 48/47). The Toyota Camry, also redesigned for 2018, now scores 51/53 or 44/47 depending on trim level. When I learned that a new Honda Insight would utilize a similar hybrid system with a 1.5-liter engine instead of the Accord's 2.0-liter in a smaller, lighter car, I had high hopes. Could a 60-mpg rating happen? Well, it didn't. The Honda Insight LX and EX score 55 mpg city and 49 mpg highway in the EPA's testing. The tested Touring trim, with larger tires and a higher curb weight, scores a little lower, 51/45. Pretty good. But a Toyota Prius (58/53 or 54/50, depending on the variant), a Toyota Corolla Hybrid (53/52), or a Hyundai Ioniq (57/59 or 55/54) scores better. In my testing, the trip computer reported averages ranging from 45 mpg to 75 mpg in suburban driving. (Whether the system opts to charge or draw energy from the battery pack has a big effect on the reported average during short drives.) In one 20-mile drive around hilly Ann Arbor the trip computer reported an impressive 64 mpg--and 93.6 mpg during the initial three miles. But in a Toyota Prius I averaged 65 mpg over the entire week despite some colder weather--it struggled to top 60 when the air temperature fell to 40--and observed trip averages over 90 a couple of times. Air temperatures were usually in the 60s during the week I had the Insight, optimal for fuel economy. The Honda Insight disappointed in highway driving. When cruising near 80 mph, a speed at which it can't take much advantage of its hybrid configuration, the Insight averaged 40 mpg. Good, but little better than a non-hybrid Civic. I observed a bit over 60 mpg on the highway in the Prius. Given these results, I struggled with listing fuel economy among the reasons to buy the new Insight. On the one hand, all of its direct competitors have higher EPA ratings. On the other, the Insight's mpg compares very well to non-hybrids, and fuel economy will be a primary reason people buy one. see full Honda Insight review
