TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Kia Forte

Kia Forte Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Comment
2019	The Kia Forte's EPA fuel economy ratings of 30 mpg city and 40 mpg highway aren't quite best in class, but they're close. Unless you include the 55/49 Honda Insight and the 53/52 Toyota Corolla Hybrid in the class--then they're not so close. In my real-world suburban driving I observed trip computer averages in the low 40s in the Forte, similar to a 2016 Civic LX with a similarly sized, similarly non-turbo engine. A Civic EX, with a turbocharged 1.5-liter engine, should do a few mpg better. In the hybrid Honda Insight, I observed suburban trip computer averages in the 60s, but "only" 40 mpg on the highway, not even as good as the non-hybrids. see full Kia Forte review

Kia Forte Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Comment
	I've made it through the top reasons to buy a Kia Forte SX, but no mention of performance and handling (the reasons to upgrade from lesser trims) yet. But neither is the top reason not to buy one, either. Okay, maybe handling is. I'm trying to decide as I write this. Handling definitely isn't the car's largest weakness. That would be fuel economy. With a manual transmission, the Kia Forte SX achieves worst-in-class EPA ratings: 22 mpg city and 29 mpg highway. (The automatic goes a mile farther on each highway gallon.) Mind you, the Civic doesn't do much better, with 22/31. But the big-engined Mazda achieves 25/37 with a manual, and a lofty 28/39 with an automatic. And the much quicker Volkswagen GTI scores 25/34 and 25/33, respectively. The Forte EX, with its larger but non-turbocharged engine, is more competitive: 24/33 with the manual and 25/36 with the automatic. Maybe the Forte SX just doesn't test well. In my suburban driving the trip computer reported averages between 25 and 40 (depending on the frequency of stops and the heaviness of my right foot), with most in the low 30s. The trip computers in the Honda, Mazda, and Volkswagen all reported about the same. The Kia's trip computer also reported better-than-EPA averages on the highway, but not by as wide a margin. Short gearing restricted 70-mph-highway averages to about 33, well short of the high 30s observed in the others. see full Kia Forte review

Kia Forte Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	4dr Sedan 156-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	After many trips up and down the eastern USA coast (NY-FL and back) It has proven itself reliable and seems to do very well on the highway. Available power is decent, and fuel mileage is really good. It's unusual f we don't get at least the rated 33MPG but usually are between 35 and 38 with a full passenger load and moderately filled trunk. see full Kia Forte review
2011	4dr Hatch 156-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	I was able to get 33 on my first tank going 75 on 90% highway driving and 27 with more mixed driving and highway driving at a highr speed. see full Kia Forte review
2010	2dr Coupe 173-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	even with a lead foot i get 20-24 mpg and on a long road trip 600 miles easily achieved 33 mpg, while still being fun to drive see full Kia Forte review
2010	4dr Sedan 156-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Seemed rather impressive, especially given its acceleration relative to others in the class. see full Kia Forte review

Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	4dr Minivan, ext. 283-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Fuel economy averages around 20 mpg for us, which is mostly mixed driving. Not bad for such a large vehicle, that has impressive power. The highway mileage is impressive. In good weather, with the cruise set on 70, it gets about 30 mpg. Really impressive for such a big vehicle. Of course different terrain and weather conditions can affect that a lot. Winter highway mileage, more like 24 mpg. Overall I am impressed with the combination of power and fuel economy. see full Chrysler Town & Country review
2009	4dr Minivan, ext. 197-horsepower 3.8L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Many of our trips, we average between 23 and 25 MPH. Its not bad for four to six people plus a dog and luggage. We could not fit all our stuff into two of most vehicles. see full Chrysler Town & Country review
2007	4dr Minivan, ext. 180-horsepower 3.3L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	It gets 24 to 25 MPG at 70+ on the freeway and near 20 in short trip and city driving. Very good mileage for a 7 pass van. see full Chrysler Town & Country review
2007	4dr Minivan, ext. 200-horsepower 3.8L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	there is nothing wrong with this car great fuel economy even when towing no major issues as long as you keep up with regular maintenance see full Chrysler Town & Country review
2006	4dr Minivan 180-horsepower 3.3L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Very poor, only 13 to 14 mpg city. see full Chrysler Town & Country review

2010	4dr Minivan, ext. 197-horsepower 3.8L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	WOW all I can say is on the highway I am lucky to see 18 mpg when we did the calculations and checked it five times we come to an avrage of about 13 mpg see full Chrysler Town & Country review
2008	4dr Minivan, ext. 251-horsepower 4.0L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	2008 4.0 liter had good acceleration bu poorer fuel economy than Sienna see full Chrysler Town & Country review
2008	4dr Minivan, ext. 251-horsepower 4.0L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	1) Mileage is what the EPA sticker states. However, thought I would be able to get better than stated in real life conditions. see full Chrysler Town & Country review
2008	4dr Minivan, ext. 197-horsepower 3.8L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	I get less fuel economy than 2006 model I had. It is a heavier vehicle and not as aerodynamic. Without the 6 speed it might be less. 16 city 22 highway. see full Chrysler Town & Country review
2007	4dr Minivan, ext. 200-horsepower 3.8L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	would like to get 20+ city and 27 - 30+ country see full Chrysler Town & Country review
2003	4dr Minivan, ext. 215-horsepower 3.8L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Very poor fuel economy when it comes to city driving. Highway driving fuel economy is acceptable for 2003 model vehicles of this type. see full Chrysler Town & Country review
