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

Mazda Protege Real Gas Mileage: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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

2011 4dr Hatch 158-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 For a 4 cylinder vehicle, the mpg could be better. (How about a 6th gear Scion!?). I average between 24-28, have gotten over 30 at times. Gas mileage is alright if you stay under 70mph on the interstate/highways. I actually get the best mileage in town see full Scion xB review

2009 4dr Hatch 158-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Best that can be said is that fuel economy is average for car of its weight and engine displacement. Automatic transmission only available in 4sp w/OD. A 5 or 6 speed tranny would be better. see full Scion xB review
