Fiat 500L Real Gas Mileage: Pros
YearComment
2014 The FIAT 500L's EPA ratings--24 mpg city, 33 mpg highway--are about as good as you'll see in a small, conventionally propelled crossover. The Buick Encore does a touch better (25/33), but the MINI doesn't (23/30), and the Kia Soul scores considerably worse, at least on the highway (23/28). In real-world driving the 500L's trip computer reported averages around 30 in the suburbs (even 37 with a very light right foot) and about 35 on a 70-mph highway. Two caveats. Make a lot of use of the turbo, and fuel economy will plummet. And while premium fuel is not required, it is recommended. see full Fiat 500L review

Fiat 500L Real Gas Mileage: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2014 4dr Hatch turbocharged 160hp 1.4L I4
6-speed automated manual FWD		 The gas mileage is nothing to write home about, but it's nothing to scream and shout about either. It's about average for this size of car. I'm seeing the upper 20s so far in a mix of city and highway driving. Fiat recommends premium unleaded, but it does run fine on regular unleaded. see full Fiat 500L review

4-speed automatic RWD		 I guess I could by a newer Z4 with much better mileage but it is not the preformance car the Z3 is. see full BMW Z3 review
