On the highway, our 2009 with A/T gets 37 MPG @ 65 MPH with the A/C on. Our Scan gauge confirms this. That's hard to beat for a really inexpensive car.

However, we bought it for my wife's daily local commute, and the best we can manage is 22 MPG at speeds below 45 MPH, which unfortunately is 99% of our all local usage. Highway MPG is great; city MPG really sucks.

But if you do mostly highway driving, it may be the best car for you, especially for the money.
I don't know about those cars. They should get close to 50 for the size it is. I do think they need to be tweeked a bit more! I've been asking people about them at fill up stations & they all tend to be disapointed in the mileage.

Thanks,
Dave
