The fuel economy is amazing for a fairly large sedan. I can amek 38 mpg on back rural roads if I really tried. Driving "normally" on the same roads I acheive a consistant 34 mpg. My 40 minute higheay commute at 80mph achieves 35 mpg. CC ranges 520 miles. see full Volkswagen CC review

Not the greatest, and requires premium. The dealer will weasel this, but 50k miles down the road, you will see why premium was required. That a 10% of better hit on fuel costs. see full Volkswagen CC review

The car does get excellent fuel economy- IF you can keep your foot out of it. I rarely succeed in that endeavor- the car is just too much fun to drive, the embodiment of "driving a slow car, fast." see full Mazda Protege review

Suburban fuel economy is acceptable, at nearly 30 mpg. But on the highway, with the engine spinning well over 3,000 rpm, fuel economy also struggles to crack 30. Many much larger, much more powerful cars achieve better highway fuel economy. Some owners have fitted the fifth gear from the related transmission in the Mazda6 to get more of an overdrive. see full Mazda Protege review
