Honda HR-V Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Comment
2016	With EPA ratings of 28 mpg city and 35 mpg highway, the front-wheel-drive Honda HR-V nearly leads the class in fuel economy; that honor goes to the Mazda CX-3, with 29/35. Add all-wheel drive and they tie with 27/32. The Trax trails by a 2-3 mpg in the city and a single mpg on the highway. In my real-world driving, though, the Chevrolet's trip computer reported better numbers than the Honda's. Was it accurate? I don't know. But if it was, the Trax was a little more efficient in my suburban driving, 37 mpg vs. 35 mpg, and considerably more efficient in my highway driving, 40 vs. 34 mpg. Granted, that the tested Trax lacked all-wheel drive could explain the observed difference in suburban mpg, if not the larger one in highway mpg. It should also be noted that the Trax's fuel efficiency is more dependent on driving style. Employ a heavy foot, and the tiny four's turbo will shove far more fuel-air mixture into the cylinders. Since the EPA figures aren't terribly far apart and the trips computers cast some doubt on their accuracy, I've judged this category a tie. Drive either CUV casually, and you'll enjoy fuel economy well beyond the reach of most cars. see full Honda HR-V review

Suzuki Forenza / Reno Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr Hatch 127-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	In general for the size of the car and the way I drive, I feel like I get lower gas mileage, 20-23 MPG on average, than I expected, however, it is rated for 18-28 MPG. see full Suzuki Forenza / Reno review
2006	4dr Sedan 126-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	It can get up to 31 mpg on highway-only driving. On the mostly short, in-town driving i do, it gets a disappointing 22 mpg. see full Suzuki Forenza / Reno review
