TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Subaru Crosstrek

Subaru Crosstrek Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Comment
2021	The Subaru Crosstrek is also relatively inexpensive to operate. Compared to other small crossovers with all-wheel-drive, the Subaru Crosstrek Sport scores among the highest on the EPA's tests: 27 mpg city and 34 mpg highway. With its turbocharged engine, the Seltos SX checks in quite a bit lower: 25 city, 30 highway. Even a Seltos with Kia's 2.0-liter non-turbo engine can only match the Crosstrek Sport with a 2.5-liter engine in the city test; in the highway test it manages only 31 mpg. A Honda HR-V with AWD ties that Seltos: 27/31. Crosstreks with Subaur's 2.0-liter engine score one mpg better in the city test but one mpg worse in the highway test. So the larger engine in the Sport and Limited entail little if any fuel economy penalty. During my winter driving the trip computer reported 28.5 mpg in town and 31.5 mph on the highway. For better city fuel economy, a Crosstrek Hybrid with EPA ratings of 36/34 and about 17 miles of electric-only range is offered in ten zero-emission vehicle mandate states. see full Subaru Crosstrek review

Subaru Crosstrek Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2015	4dr Hatch 160-horsepower 2.0L H4 Hybrid 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD	Economy is not stellar for a hybrid but very good for a car with AWD, great ground clearance, and good interior space. The stop/start system saves a ton of gas when driving around town, and at moderate country road speeds (around 50) the mileage is great, easily over 40 mpg for some trips. see full Subaru Crosstrek review
2013	4dr Hatch 148-horsepower 2.0L H4 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD	The best mileage we have ever achieved in the Crosstrek is around 28mpg. We drive about 50% interstate, 30% highway and 20% city. see full Subaru Crosstrek review

TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Audi A3 / S3 / RS3

Audi A3 / S3 / RS3 Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Comment
2016	For a car that can get from zero to 60 mph in under five seconds, the Audi S3 can be quite economical. The tested 2016's EPA ratings were 23 mpg city, 31 mpg highway. For 2017, the S3's ratings have fallen to 21/28 for no obvious reason. Maybe the updates pushed the car into a higher test weight class. I doubt the car's real-world fuel economy has changed. I observed 25 mpg in suburban driving (with a light foot) and nearly 30 mpg on the highway. Despite its more powerful engine, the Mercedes-AMG CLA45 scores even better than the 2017 S3 (if not quite as good as the 2016): 23/30. see full Audi A3 / S3 / RS3 review

2008	4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD	I am getting 30+ MPG in mixed 50/50 city/hwy driving. Hwy MPG if <70 MPH is easily 34 MPG+. If it had 7 gears, MPG at 70+ would be far better. see full Audi A3 / S3 / RS3 review
2007	4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD	23 cty/30 hwy - this is great fuel economy in a car that can get up and go on the interstate, but still zip around town in style. see full Audi A3 / S3 / RS3 review
