Frequently Asked Questions
What is good fuel economy?
By vehicle class: subcompact 35+ MPG, compact 30+, midsize sedan 28+, SUV 22+, pickup 20+, sports car 22+, full-size luxury 22+. Hybrids in each class typically add 10-20 MPG over equivalent gas-only models.
Does premium gas improve MPG?
Only in engines that require premium (high-compression performance engines). In regular-fuel engines, premium offers no MPG benefit and costs 30-60 cents more per gallon. Check your owner manual: 'recommended' versus 'required'.
How do I improve real-world MPG?
Drive 55-65 mph (not 75+), keep tires properly inflated (3-4 psi low costs 1-2 MPG), avoid idling (use start-stop if equipped), remove roof racks when not used, keep up with maintenance (clogged air filter or fouled plugs hurt MPG significantly).
