Honda CR-Z Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2014	2dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid 6-speed manual FWD	I have averaged about 40 MPG for the 3500 miles I have driven. I feel this is very good since most of my driving has lots of hills, stops, turns, and the speed limit on our interstate highways is 70 MPH. see full Honda CR-Z review
2011	2dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid 6-speed manual FWD	In real life, potential to be much better than official ratings. My 6 speed manual current average in all winter driving (have not driven during the summer yet) stands at 43 mpg (us). see full Honda CR-Z review
2011	2dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid 6-speed manual FWD	Great on gas see full Honda CR-Z review
2011	2dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid 6-speed manual FWD	MPG is quite variable. I've seen 28 in short city driving up to 48 when hypermiling on the highway. see full Honda CR-Z review
