What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Gas Mileage of the Mazda RX-8

Mazda RX-8 Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2009	4dr Coupe 232-horsepower 1.3L R2 6-speed manual RWD	One of the big downsides of the rotary is truly horrendous fuel economy. When the RX-8 first came out in the early 2000s, its mileage ratings of 16/22 city/highway mpg (stick shift) were just barely acceptable, but there days, with many crossovers hitting more than 30 mpg on the highway, those figures are truly atrocious, especially given respectable but certainly not neck-snapping power. Futhermore, it takes premium. If you're using the RX-8 as it commuter, fuel costs will add up quickly. In my predominantly around-town driving, I typically average between 16-17 mpg. My highest recorded average was 20 mpg on a highway trip at speeds around 75 mph. see full Mazda RX-8 review
2007	4dr Coupe 212-horsepower 1.3L R2 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	The EPA numbers are way low compared with my real-world experience. The window sticker showed 18/25 and I have never seen less than 23 with my 40/60 city/highway commute. I think Mazda should develop a lean-burn economy cruise mode for this car. see full Mazda RX-8 review
2006	4dr Coupe 238-horsepower 1.3L R2 6-speed manual RWD	Lite bit to high consumption when I drive it in normal speed. On full woot its ok. see full Mazda RX-8 review
2005	4dr Coupe 238-horsepower 1.3L R2 6-speed manual RWD	Worst fuel economy in its class. see full Mazda RX-8 review
2004	4dr Coupe 238-horsepower 1.3L R2 6-speed manual RWD	Not that bad for what it is, but it seems to me that Mazda's Sky Active technology could help the city mileage. It just needs more R&D. see full Mazda RX-8 review
2004	4dr Coupe 238-horsepower 1.3L R2 6-speed manual RWD	At 16 m.p.g. on premium grade these days it could be cheaper to take a taxi. see full Mazda RX-8 review
2004	4dr Coupe 238-horsepower 1.3L R2 6-speed manual RWD	For a small engine displacement and a relatively light vehicle weight, the gas mileage is weak. I usualy get around 19mpg, and that does not realy matter if I am doing all city or all highway driving. I think the real problem is in the sixth gear it isnt much different than fifth gear so it does not provide good fuel economy. see full Mazda RX-8 review
2004	4dr Coupe 238-horsepower 1.3L R2 6-speed manual RWD	For a car with a 1.9 liter engine I would have expected better than 16-19 MPG. Get your foot into it and the numbers fall drastically. Otherwise I loved that car. It just got too small with a newborn and a big dog. see full Mazda RX-8 review
2004	4dr Coupe 238-horsepower 1.3L R2 6-speed manual RWD	I gets 20MPG no matter what I do. Running around 20. 1/2 highway 20. All the highway all day 25-26. I think that it could do better. see full Mazda RX-8 review
2004	4dr Coupe 238-horsepower 1.3L R2 6-speed manual RWD	16-18MPG city, 24MPG highway see full Mazda RX-8 review

Ford Fusion Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2015	4dr Sedan 141-horsepower 2.0L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD	42.3 mpg since new. 85% highway, 10% suburban, 5% city. A/C always on, careful but not "multimiler" driving. see full Ford Fusion review
2013	4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	I have close to 3000 miles on this car and the last 2 gas fill ups have been 22.6 mpg which is slightly higher then the EPA city rating. Being that it is still winter & all my driving so far has been city driving I am very satisfied with the gas mileage. see full Ford Fusion review
2012	4dr Sedan 240-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	I generaly get 23-24 miles per gallon in town and 29-34 miles per gallon on the interstate. That beats all other cars I have owned..probably more that 20. see full Ford Fusion review
2011	4dr Sedan 156-horsepower 2.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD	Over 40 MPG in the city. see full Ford Fusion review
2010	4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed automatic FWD	Up to 35 mpg on the Highway. see full Ford Fusion review
2010	4dr Sedan 156-horsepower 2.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD	Was looking for a hybrid. Based on magazine reviews, I narrowed it to this or a Prius. see full Ford Fusion review

2010	4dr Sedan 156-horsepower 2.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD	The Fusion Hybrid when driven as outlined in the owner�s manual rewards you with the best in class fuel economy which is far above the advertized mileage for the car. The car has great power which is on par with the V6 version of the same car. I now have see full Ford Fusion review
2009	4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	I average a respectable 23+ miles per gallon in the city. 30+ on the highway. see full Ford Fusion review
2008	4dr Sedan 221-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed automatic FWD	Originally thought it was great on fuel, after owning it is still respectable but not as good as I thought it would be. I end up doing more city driving than highway though. see full Ford Fusion review

Ford Fusion Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	18.5mpg, vs 22mpg rated city driving. Not disatisfied. Really like the car, so don't care. see full Ford Fusion review
2011	4dr Sedan 240-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	My primary complaint with the vehicle as a whole definitely comes down to fuel economy. I've owned several other vehicles that should generally be less economical that actually are almost the same. My primary example is one of my previous cars, a supercharged 1996 Buick Park Avenue. Overall average fuel economy with that Buick was about 20, with 70% city driving. Overall fuel economy with my V6 3.0 Fusion is...about 20 with the same driving conditions. Its to be noted that car's posted fuel economy figures for highway driving aren't really attainable. 240 HP in a midsize car isn't bad...but I sometimes wish I'd gotten the 4 cylinder. see full Ford Fusion review
2010	4dr Sedan 240-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	17mpg city driving. see full Ford Fusion review
2009	4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD	The non-hybrid four is pushing a lot of weight, so its city mileage suffers. see full Ford Fusion review
2008	4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	The city fuel economy is lower than advertised (11.4l/100km with average speed of 32kmh). see full Ford Fusion review
2007	4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Fuel economy is OK, this is an error see full Ford Fusion review
2007	4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	It does not lead the pack, in fact ford needs to fix the pack of power and having higher than average fuel consumption. see full Ford Fusion review
2007	4dr Sedan 221-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed automatic AWD	Poor with AWD see full Ford Fusion review
