Kia Stinger Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Comment
	Two-ton gas-powered cars that can reach 60 mph in under five seconds aren't going to match a Prius for fuel efficiency. But some (the Audi) are considerably more efficient than others (the Kia). This doesn't happen by chance. The previous-generation Audi managed 18 mpg city and 28 mpg highway in the EPA's testing. Not awful for a car of its size and performance, but Audi knew it could do better. By substituting a turbocharger for its predecessor's supercharger, and the new S5 manages a commendable 21 mpg city and 30 mpg highway. Kia, aiming at a moving target, fell short, with 19 mpg city and 25 mpg highway for both RWD and AWD versions of the GT. The four-cylinder Stinger rates 22/29 with RWD and 21/29 with AWD. In my suburban driving I was able to coax the Stinger GT AWD as high as 26 mpg, but usually I observed averages around 20 mpg. On a 70-mph highway with the A/C running I easily beat the EPA rating with an observed 28.7 mpg. So maybe the Stinger just doesn't test well. Or maybe I had a tail wind. see full Kia Stinger review
