Fuel Economy In Car And Driver October 2010

Six vehicles were examined in Car & Driver's October 2010 issue for fuel economy results. Oh, many others were tested. But the Lamborghini Gallardo is the one that comes out of testing with an mpg figure; the Nissan Juke does not.

There are reasons for this, I'm sure. So we won't complain. But it's interesting to note that, compared with the EPA's numbers, the Honda Fit was only 1 mpg shy of its estimated highway rating while the Mazda 2 was two below its highway rating and the 2011 Ford Fiesta was five mpg below. As you can see in C/D's 0-60 numbers from the magazine's October issue, the Fiesta's superior power-to-weight ratio was of no benefit, either.

Honda Fit Sport: 34 miles per gallon
Mazda 2 Touring: 33 miles per gallon
Ford Fiesta SES: 32 miles per gallon
Cadillac CTS Coupe: 20 miles per gallon
Jaguar XJ Supercharged: 16 miles per gallon
Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2 Valentino Balboni: 13 miles per gallon
