What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Gas Mileage of the Hyundai Genesis Coupe

Hyundai Genesis Coupe Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	2dr Coupe turbocharged 274hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual RWD	I average around 26 mpg in mixed driving, with a moderately heavy right foot. On a long, flat roadtrip I averaged ~32 mpg with speeds ranging from ~70-80 mph. Even in city driving and stop-and-go traffic I rarely dip below 20 for a trip. see full Hyundai Genesis Coupe review
2010	2dr Coupe turbocharged 210hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual RWD	Very good, better than a Rx-8, not as good as a Civic Si. see full Hyundai Genesis Coupe review

2011	2dr Coupe turbocharged 210hp 2.0L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD	For a 3400 pound car the fuel economy is really pretty good considering I have a turbo which I keep spinning up. The EPA numbers did not enter into my choice, however the manufacturer advertises 20 - 30 mpg which is a bit of a fantasy. A rating of 19 - 27 would be reasonable and kept a lot of people from complaining on the forums. I have personally seen 28 / 29 mpg on the highway so the 30 mpg is possible, but not practical. For a heavy turbo-charged RWD car my mileage is pretty good; just not what was advertised. see full Hyundai Genesis Coupe review

2010	2dr Coupe 306-horsepower 3.8L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Highway fuel economy is decent for a large V6, but city fuel economy, especially in winter, struggles to break 13mpg. see full Hyundai Genesis Coupe review

TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Lincoln MKZ

Lincoln MKZ Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Comment
2014	I wavered on whether or not to include fuel economy among the reasons to buy a Lincoln MKZ Hybrid. With the possible exception of its grille, no aspect of the car has been more controversial. As with other current Ford hybrids, owners found they could not match the original EPA estimates, in this case 45 mpg for both city and highway. Ford recently caved to pressure, revising the MKZ Hybrid's EPA ratings downward to 38 mpg city, 37 mpg highway and compensating owners for the difference. Which numbers are more accurate, the old or the new? Even with a cold start in near-freezing weather Gayla (who works the pedals like the typical American) managed over 34.6 mpg in the suburbs (based on the trip computer). With a trip computer reset after the engine was warm and much more effort put towards maximizing efficiency, I observed 51.6 with a two-way suburban trip. Taking the highway downtown and back, I observed 47.4 mpg. So the original EPA ratings are doable, just not when driving the car the typical American way, with a heavy foot and the AC blasting. Braking is at least as important as acceleration. Wait too long to start slowing down for a red light, as most Americans do, and the car's kinetic energy will be used to heat the brake rotors rather than being channeled back into the battery pack. When the battery is fully charged, the car can and will cruise for a few miles on electricity alone. The Lexus ES 300h's EPA ratings are a couple mpg higher than the Lincoln's. My experience with the related Camry Hybrid suggests that the Lexus will also have a real-world advantage, but one small enough to consider them "about the same." The only other midsize luxury sedans offering similar fuel economy are diesels from Germany, such as the Mercedes-Benz E250 BlueTEC. Though these are much quicker than the hybrids, they are also far more expensive. How much more? If you have to ask... see full Lincoln MKZ review

Lincoln MKZ Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Comment
	The MKZ with the 2.0T engine is EPA-rated 22/33 mpg with FWD, 22/31 with AWD. This barely tops the V6-powered ES, and in the real world likely trails the Lexus. A front-wheel-drive Fusion 2.0T, with EPA ratings of 22/34, averaged 19.5 mpg in suburban driving during the week we drove it. With AWD in the heavier Lincoln, real-world fuel economy could get ugly. Step up to the V6, and the EPA figures fall to 19/28 with FWD and 18/26 with AWD (though mpg might not suffer at all outside the lab). Then again, the MKZ is available with a hybrid powertrain rated by the EPA at 45 mpg for both city and highway driving--at no additional cost over the base engine. Even though this powertrain can't seem to approach these impressive numbers in the real world, it's far more efficient than the other two engines. It's the clear choice for buyers who place a high priority on fuel economy. see full Lincoln MKZ review
