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

2008	2dr Hatch turbocharged 227hp 2.5L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The fuel economy when drive correctly provides almost 30 MPG for Hwy driving. see full Volvo C30 review

Volvo C30 Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2009	2dr Hatch turbocharged 227hp 2.5L I5 6-speed manual FWD	It is not as good as I would like. see full Volvo C30 review
2008	2dr Hatch turbocharged 227hp 2.5L I5 6-speed manual FWD	The MPG is not terrible(22-24 combined mpg). But for a small car, most people would expect 30+mpg(28 at the least). see full Volvo C30 review
2008	2dr Hatch turbocharged 227hp 2.5L I5 6-speed manual FWD	Ill admit that when I drove the C30 I was driving fast. I rented it for a weekend to see if I wanted to buy it or not. And I went thru an entire tank in less than 200 miles. see full Volvo C30 review
