2007	2dr Convertible turbocharged 180hp 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	It averages around 15 in town and no better than 20 highway. This is way behind the curve of other more modern small cars. see full Chrysler PT Cruiser review
2006	2dr Convertible turbocharged 230hp 2.4L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	One would expect to get much better mileage from a car this size, however 17 city/23 highway is what I actually get. see full Chrysler PT Cruiser review
2006	4dr Wagon 150-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	This thing had a 4 cylinder but sucked fuel like a big V-6 or larger. Is this the result of cinder-block like aerodynamics? see full Chrysler PT Cruiser review
2005	4dr Wagon 150-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Manual transmission with standard 4 cylender engine averages 25 mpg. Power is just adequate. see full Chrysler PT Cruiser review

Volkswagen Eos Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2009	2dr Hardtop conv. turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD	On the freeway, I get 32 MPG with the cruise set at 65. Around town, I get about 30, driving conservatively. On my commute, I find that I get 27 if I drive like everyone else, zooming and stopping. If I make an effort to minimize braking, and coast on the hills and where ever possible, I’ve gotten as high as 35 MPG on the same route. The car does need 91 octane—it will run on 89 octane, but the mileage goes down, so it is a false economy. see full Volkswagen Eos review
2008	2dr Hardtop conv. turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD	31 mpg plus on road trips see full Volkswagen Eos review
2008	2dr Hardtop conv. turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD	For my short commute I average 25 mpg. Driving longer distances with the top up I get better than 32 mpg. see full Volkswagen Eos review

Volkswagen Eos Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	2dr Hardtop conv. turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD	I have averaged 27.3 MPG since new which in itself is not bad but the engine requires a minimum of 91 octane fuel. Based on availability that makes it require 93 octane fuel. If the added fuel cost is considered that effectively makes fuel cost the same as a car averaging 25 MPG using 87 octane fuel. Most of my driving is highway and I do not view this as economical for a 2 liter 4. My other car has a 35% more powerful engine and is both larger and heavier but has lower fuel cost. see full Volkswagen Eos review
