Car Gas Mileage Comparison – Find The Best Gas Mileage Car
Posted by Admin at 27 November 2018, at 21 : 07 PM
When choosing a car, the gas mileage comparison is a very important factor because fuel prices can only go up, so if you are thinking of buying new car, I suggest you choose something more efficient.
A great website for starting your gas mileage comparison is fueleconomy.gov. The website allows you to make gas mileage comparisons based on the class of the vehicle (small cars, upscale sedans, hatchbacks, vans, pickup trucks, etc.) and the year. A quick gas mileage comparison on the sports cars in shows us that Audi TT Coupe with its 4 cylinder, 2 liter engine is on pole position with EPA estimates of 23 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway. The second place is once again held by Audi, this time with their Audi TT Roadster with 22 and 29 mpg respectively. Mazda MX-5 is fourth followed again by Audi and their A4 model.
Have in mind that fueleconomy.gov is stating estimates measured by The Environmental Protection Agency. But the major concern amongst some drivers is that there is a mismatch between those numbers and real-world conditions. The good thing is that these EPA numbers are precise when it comes to comparing the gas mileage of different car models, because they were tested under the same circumstances and conditions as they went through the same standardized set of fuel economy tests applied the same way to every vehicle. So the idea is that while you shouldn’t plan the budget for your road trip on estimates given by the EPA, still the numbers are absolutely on point when it comes to comparing the different cars in terms of their mileage.
As the fueleconomy.gov gas mileage comparison shows, the most fuel efficient Upscale Sedan will be the Mercedes-Benz E320 Bluetec (6 cyl, 3 L, Auto(L7), Diesel) with 23 mpg in the city and 32 on the highway. Next is the Lexus LS 600h with 20 and 22 mpg respectively. Third place goes to BMW 528i (18 and 27 mpg) and fourth is Audi A6 (18 and 27 mpg).
A gas mileage comparison on the Sport Utility Vehicles shows that Ford Escape Hybrid FWD with its 4 cyl, 2.3 L, Automatic (CVT) version is number one. It goes 24 miles per gallon in the city and 30 on the highway. That’s pretty good for such a large and heavy vehicle. The Mazda Tribute Hybrid 2WD is and Mercury Mariner Hybrid FWD achieve the same results on EPA tests as the Ford Escape Hybrid.
