2012 Ford Fiesta Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	4dr Sedan 120-horsepower 1.6L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Good for the tight pocketbook. see full Ford Fiesta review
2012	4dr Sedan 120-horsepower 1.6L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Great fuel economy. Consumer Reports indicated that it was one of the few cars they have tested that actually got better than EPA during their (sometimes high performance) testing. I am getting better than 38 mpg in a mix of city/highway. see full Ford Fiesta review
2011	4dr Hatch 120-horsepower 1.6L I4 6-speed automatic FWD	High mpg without the expense of a hybrid / electric see full Ford Fiesta review
2011	4dr Hatch 120-horsepower 1.6L I4 6-speed automatic FWD	Mixed bag. Pure highway exceeds 40mpg w/o effort. Lots of very short trips in town (less than 5 minutes total time) 28 MPG. Part may be the gas blend. The lower the average MPH the lower the MPG. see full Ford Fiesta review
2011	4dr Hatch 120-horsepower 1.6L I4 5-speed manual FWD	One of the best combinations of fuel economy and purchase cost you will find in the US. Among the most fuel-efficient inexpensive subcompacts on the market today (though it can be beaten in fuel economy by a number of hybrids that cost significantly more). I've gotten 29-30 mpg in pure city driving, 33-35 in suburbs, and 37-46 on the highway. 5-speed manual has a somewhat lower than ideal 5th gear, which hurts gas mileage over 65 mph (37 mpg was at at 75 mph, 46 mpg at 55-60). Also has a larger than typical tank to go with that efficiency (12.4 gallons), giving you a useful range of up to 500 miles on the highway, and a good 100 miles more per tank than my previous car. Wish list: SFE package with a 6-speed manual "Econ AC" setting that would cool half as strongly and cut out during acceleration auto start-stop the 1-liter ecoboost I've been hearing about for ages but still isn't quite available in the US see full Ford Fiesta review

2011	4dr Hatch 120-horsepower 1.6L I4 6-speed automatic FWD	The automatic has no loss of torque in between gear ratios. Wins in fuel economy by a slight margin. see full Ford Fiesta review
2011	4dr Hatch 120-horsepower 1.6L I4 6-speed automatic FWD	35MPG without even trying. On long trips, I got 44MPG and the 6 speed auto gets better milage than the manual. see full Ford Fiesta review
2011	4dr Sedan 120-horsepower 1.6L I4 6-speed automatic FWD	29 city, 38 highway and i was able to get around 31 is city commute. enough said. see full Ford Fiesta review
