TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Dodge Dart

Dodge Dart Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Comment
	The changes for the GT have changed a few areas from "why nots" to "whys." I also didn't mind the deep instrument panel and limited steering wheel adjustment as much this time around. In a back-to-back drive, the instrument panel on the Focus seemed even deeper than the Dart's. If you're tall, you might feel like you're sitting too high in the Dart. I acclimated. But the larger engine didn't help fuel economy. The EPA ratings fall from the 2.0's already marginal 24 mpg city, 34 highway to 21/30. (Or from 25/36 to 23/33 if you're comparing cars with manual transmissions.) The Buick manages 21/30 even with its optional turbocharged engine--and received a "why not to buy" for this. These days, most midsize cars do better, and most compacts do much better. In our real-world driving the Dart GT's trip computer reported less dreadful numbers, at least in the suburbs. When the GT was driven with little care for fuel economy, the trip computer reported averages in thelow to mid 20s. With a light foot it reported averages in thelow 30s. In one fairly long highway trip, though, the trip computer verified the EPA number with an average just over 30. This new engine employs FIAT's "multiair" throttle-free intake system, allegedly good for a seven-percent fuel economy bump. As with the 1.4T engine, though, this technology has little evident benefit in the EPA's tests or real-world driving. Note: for 2014, Dodge has improved the Dart GT automatic's EPA ratings from 21/30 to 23/35. They did this partly by substituting the taller final drive ratio from other Darts, so the 2014 GT won't be as quick. see full Dodge Dart review

2013	4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	28 MPG in city and highwway see full Dodge Dart review
2013	4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Fuel economy was sub par, at a 24 mpg return on a 4 hour trip in the flat lands of southern Michigan to central Ohio, I'd rather drive my current ride, a 2014 Charger that gets 22 mpg on the same trip. City mileage was a joke at something like 15 mpg on my car. My Buddy has a 2013 Focus that returns 36 mpg highway on that same trip and his city mileage is in the mid 20's. This was with me driving, so I feel it is a reasonable comparision. see full Dodge Dart review
2013	4dr Sedan turbocharged 160hp 1.4L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD	Coming from a car that averaged 23 mpg, I looked for a car that would provide me with the best mpg that would fit my style. The Dart had me from the first announcement. see full Dodge Dart review
2013	4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Great Gas mileage compared to my previous cars. Can't wait to take a much longer trip to see how well it does. see full Dodge Dart review

2013	4dr Sedan turbocharged 160hp 1.4L I4 6-speed manual FWD	Considering the modest displacement (1.4L), I did expect better fuel economy, but it was an improvement on a prior vehicle. I also admit that I was an aggressive driver, so someone else with a milder driving style could probably improve on the fuel economy. see full Dodge Dart 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	32 mpg highway consistantly 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
