TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Fiat 500L

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

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

smart fortwo Real Gas Mileage: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2013 2dr Hatch 70-horsepower 1.0L I3
5-speed automated manual RWD		 good mpg car for the price and simplicity of a lightweight car with only a gas engine. Even if you only get the EPA combined estimate of 36 it is good mpg and competes well in its class. But many smart drivers get much higher. My first 10k miles averaged 45 mpg, based on miles per gallon measured at each fill up, mix of city and freeway. Recently I had 48 mpg and 51 mpg tanks on my usual route. Check Fuelly.com for a realistic picture of mpg to expect. Low 40s mpg is most common. see full smart fortwo review
