Hyundai Elantra GT Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Comment
2013	Hyundai made the news a few months ago when it had to revise the EPA ratings for many of its cars. To their credit, they acted quickly, and are compensating previous buyers for the difference. Even with the downward revision, the Elantra GT is rated 26 mpg city (27 with the automatic) and 37 mpg highway. These figures are slightly better than those for the Ford Focus, but slightly worse than those for the Mazda3. see full Hyundai Elantra GT review

Hyundai Elantra GT Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Comment
	Hyundai's 201-horsepower turbocharged 1.6-liter engine doesn't perform nearly as well in the EPA's tests as the 205-horsepower turbocharged 1.5-liter engine in the Civic Si: 22 mpg city and 29 mpg highway vs. 28 and 38, respectively. The far more potent 306-horsepower Civic Type R manages numbers virtually as good as the Hyundai's. You cannot get the Civic Si with a self-shifting transmission. Step down to the Civic Sport with a 180-horsepower 1.5T and a CVT for EPA ratings of 30 city and 36 highway, each four mpg higher that those of the Hyundai 1.6T-DCT combo. see full Hyundai Elantra GT review

2013	4dr Hatch 148-horsepower 1.8L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Fuel economy is disappointing. We will be signing up for whatever lawsuit will get us the most money from Hyundai. We would much prefer that the car get the mileage that was advertised. see full Hyundai Elantra GT review
2013	4dr Hatch 148-horsepower 1.8L I4 6-speed manual FWD	In mixed but somewhat city biased driving I have been getting 30+mpg. I haven't done any extensive highway driving at this time. see full Hyundai Elantra GT review

Jeep Compass Real Gas Mileage: Pros

2011	4dr SUV 172-horsepower 2.4L I4 CVT AWD w/low range	Improved mpg 21/27 see full Jeep Compass review
2008	4dr SUV 172-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual AWD	Rated one of the best for its class see full Jeep Compass review
2008	4dr SUV 172-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual AWD	The Compass has the fuel economy of a 4 cylinder sedan, with the comfort of an SUV. Yet those 4 cylinders put out approx 172 HP, more than enough to get the vehicle hussling down the road at a good pace without feeling gutless. see full Jeep Compass review
2007	4dr SUV 172-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual AWD	Compared to the 13 mpg avg of our 04 Dakota, it was a no brainer. see full Jeep Compass review
