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

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

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

TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Volkswagen Beetle

Volkswagen Beetle Real Gas Mileage: Pros
YearComment
2013 How much difference can a diesel make? The EPA rates the Beetle Convertible's 170-horsepower 2.5-liter gas engine for 21 mpg city, 27 mpg highway. The 140-horsepower (but torqier) 2.0-liter TDI? A much more fuel efficient 28/37. In both cases the lighter hatchback scores a little better. TDI fans claim that the EPA underestimates diesel fuel economy, and they might have a point. While the 2.5's trip computer reported averages in the mid-to-high 20s in suburban driving, the TDI's reported averages in the 40s, even just over 50 with a feather-light right foot and few complete stops. On a 70-mph highway the trip computer reported a two-way average of 38. At lower speeds the TDI should exceed the EPA rating. The Mini and Fiat are considerably smaller, lighter, and less powerful, but with somewhat overwhelmed gas engines they can't match the Beetle's fuel economy (27/35 and 27/34, respectively). Note that diesel fuel tends to cost a little more than regular unleaded, and far fewer stations carry it. see full Volkswagen Beetle review

2012 2dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed automated manual FWD		 I have the Beetle for just one month, so canīt say too much yet, but after 500 Km mostly highway driving (from whicharound 100 Km on mountanous roads), it was showing an average of 13.1 Km/ltr. Not bad at all. When i drive into the city, it averages more or less 8.0 Km/ltr. Iīm not a racer, but also not a slow driver. see full Volkswagen Beetle review
