What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Gas Mileage of the Mazda Mazda2

Mazda Mazda2 Real Gas Mileage: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2011 4dr Hatch 100-horsepower 1.5L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 Combined city and highway always returns over 34mpg. However on strictly highway driving the mpg shoots up to above 38mpg. With a 11 gallon fuel tank this translates to well over 320 miles per tank of gas. see full Mazda Mazda2 review
2011 4dr Hatch 100-horsepower 1.5L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 Between the manual transmission and the suspension, it's easy to drive the Mazda2 like a (tiny) racecar. Despite this and flooring it on every on ramp, I manage to get 30 MPG in mostly city driving. Highway trips net higher (35-38 MPG at 70-75 MPH), but a lot of uphill sections will drag the fuel economy down. Looking at fuelly.com, users are averaging 34 MPG. Not the best, but the Mazda2 achieves this with a much higher smiles-per-mile ratio than comparable B segment cars. I'm extremely satisfied with the gas mileage that I get, considering my driving style. see full Mazda Mazda2 review
Mazda Mazda2 Real Gas Mileage: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2011 4dr Hatch 100-horsepower 1.5L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 See postive comments for the cons. Fuel economy is OK, but for a car of this size and engine, I would have expected 2 more mpg than the average 32 that we get around town. see full Mazda Mazda2 review
