2003	4dr Sedan 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Gets original rating of 25/30 MPG. see full Mazda Protege review
2003	4dr Sedan 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	On a recent trip from Charlottetown, PE, Canada to Halifax, NS my car averaged 35 miles per US gallon, or over 730km per tank of fuel. As a Merchandiser, my job requires a lot of city Driving and I average 600km per tank of gas see full Mazda Protege review
2003	4dr Sedan turbocharged 170hp 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	A turbo sedan that got me 35mpg all-highway, and gets 28+ in mixed driving. see full Mazda Protege review
2003	4dr Sedan 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Great fuel economy my first tank was 28mpg, my second one with my cold air intake installed got it over 30! see full Mazda Protege review
2003	4dr Wagon 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	The car does get excellent fuel economy- IF you can keep your foot out of it. I rarely succeed in that endeavor- the car is just too much fun to drive, the embodiment of "driving a slow car, fast." see full Mazda Protege review
2003	4dr Sedan 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Great fuel efficiency but still retains a lot of pep and zip. see full Mazda Protege review
2003	4dr Wagon 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Not too bad, the roof rack hurts it a bit. gets a solid 22-25 driving 70-75 on highway. Does get 30mpg at 60 mph, but that speed will get you killed on California interstates. see full Mazda Protege review
2003	4dr Wagon 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	ave 30 mpg+ see full Mazda Protege review
2002	4dr Wagon 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	I average right around 30mpg with mixed driving, a little highway-biased. I've been satisfied with the overall gas mileage. see full Mazda Protege review
2002	4dr Wagon 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	30+ mpg highway. 28 city. Not too shabby. see full Mazda Protege review

Mazda Protege Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2003	4dr Wagon 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Suburban fuel economy is acceptable, at nearly 30 mpg. But on the highway, with the engine spinning well over 3,000 rpm, fuel economy also struggles to crack 30. Many much larger, much more powerful cars achieve better highway fuel economy. Some owners have fitted the fifth gear from the related transmission in the Mazda6 to get more of an overdrive. see full Mazda Protege review
2003	4dr Wagon 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	not good for a small 4 cyl. i have had better economy on the same roads with bigger and simmilar cars see full Mazda Protege review
2003	4dr Wagon 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Gets below avaerage mileage for a car this size/ engine/ trans. see full Mazda Protege review
2001	4dr Sedan 103-horsepower 1.6L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	It was significantly lower than Toyota or Honda at the time. see full Mazda Protege review

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

Hyundai Azera Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Sedan 263-horsepower 3.8L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	30 mpg on the highway under cruise control. 21 mpg overall in the city. see full Hyundai Azera review
2008	4dr Sedan 263-horsepower 3.8L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Variable valve powertrain delivers very good city mileage (16 mile trips per day @ 22mpg) and above expectation highway (425 mile trip at 32mpg). Highway is usually above 30 even in slow interstate traffic in the city. see full Hyundai Azera review

Hyundai Azera Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Sedan 263-horsepower 3.8L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The gas mileage is respectable but lower than most cars in the large sedan class. see full Hyundai Azera review
2007	4dr Sedan 263-horsepower 3.8L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Poor mileage. see full Hyundai Azera review
2006	4dr Sedan 263-horsepower 3.8L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	While stellar fuel economy can't be expected in a 3600 Lb car with a 3.8L V6, it does leave something to be desired, averaging somewhere between 15-17MPG in a mix of city and highway driving. Pure city driving returns closer to 13-15 MPG (although the peppy engine may have something to do with that). The car would really benefit from a 6th gear. see full Hyundai Azera review
2006	4dr Sedan 263-horsepower 3.8L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	short distance driving exhibits just fair fuel economy see full Hyundai Azera review
