TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Volkswagen Beetle

Volkswagen Beetle Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Comment
2013	How much difference can a diesel make? The EPA rates the Beetle Convertible's 170-horsepower 2.5-liter gas engine for 21 mpg city, 27 mpg highway. The 140-horsepower (but torqier) 2.0-liter TDI? A much more fuel efficient 28/37. In both cases the lighter hatchback scores a little better. TDI fans claim that the EPA underestimates diesel fuel economy, and they might have a point. While the 2.5's trip computer reported averages in the mid-to-high 20s in suburban driving, the TDI's reported averages in the 40s, even just over 50 with a feather-light right foot and few complete stops. On a 70-mph highway the trip computer reported a two-way average of 38. At lower speeds the TDI should exceed the EPA rating. The Mini and Fiat are considerably smaller, lighter, and less powerful, but with somewhat overwhelmed gas engines they can't match the Beetle's fuel economy (27/35 and 27/34, respectively). Note that diesel fuel tends to cost a little more than regular unleaded, and far fewer stations carry it. see full Volkswagen Beetle review

Volkswagen Beetle Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	2dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD	I have the Beetle for just one month, so can�t say too much yet, but after 500 Km mostly highway driving (from whicharound 100 Km on mountanous roads), it was showing an average of 13.1 Km/ltr. Not bad at all. When i drive into the city, it averages more or less 8.0 Km/ltr. I�m not a racer, but also not a slow driver. see full Volkswagen Beetle review
2002	2dr Hatch turbocharged 90hp 1.9L I4 Diesel 5-speed manual FWD	A real-world 50+ miles per gallon. This is achieved by going 55 MPH or thereabouts, and on limited-access hiways. In-town mileage of course is worse. see full Volkswagen Beetle review

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 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

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
