TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Mercedes-Benz CLA

Mercedes-Benz CLA Real Gas Mileage: Pros
YearComment
2014 The German luxury car manufacturers have been achieving some shockingly good fuel economy figures in the last few years. To these we can add the CLA250's EPA ratings of 26 mpg city and 38 mpg highway. To do better in a car with 208-horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, you need a hybrid or a diesel. Mercedes-Benz's own C250, with a less powerful engine, manages only 22/31. As does the Acura TSX. Among likely competitors, the 180-horsepower BMW 320i comes closest to matching the CLA, with 24/36. see full Mercedes-Benz CLA review

Sure wish I could get 30 MPG in this thing instead of 20 (though I have gotten 26 on long trips as long as I don't let my wife drive) see full Honda Element review

This is my only major gripe with the vehicle... I seem to get a consistent 22mpg, whether it is city driving, long flat highways, or mountains. If I go out of my way to drive conservatively, or use a medium-to-heavy foot with the aid conditioner, the difference is completely negligible... it's pretty much always 22mpg. see full Honda Element review

20 mpg city, 24 mpg hiway, low for such a small, lightweight car. see full Honda Element review

It stinks! The EX is a bit heavy which drags the MPG to 21/25. see full Honda Element review
