What's considered "good" MPG on a car?

Question

My current car gets on average 18 MPG...is that good? What MPG is considered "excellent"?

Answer 1

if by average you mean the average between city and highway that is very very low mpg. see you need to tell us what size car. cause thats not too bad for a largeish car in the city

Answer 2

18 is okay any thing above 23 is really good

Answer 3

The range of mileage depends on the size and use of the vehicle. a loaded Semi can get 2-3 miles per gallon. A small economy car can exceed thirty five mpg and a small hybrid will exceed fifty.

If your car is a full sized SUV, then 18 highway would be classified as good mileage for this vehicle. If your vehicle is a small economy car like a Toyota Corolla or Yaris, then your mileage would be considered poor.

Answer 4

it depends on the size and class of vehicle. such as in the large suv category it woud be about 19 MPG, small suvs should get about 24-27MPG, compact sedans or hatchbacks should get about 30- 40 MPG and minivans should get 22- 28 MPG and midsize sedans about 27- 37.

Answer 5

Many people consider a car as having good gas mileage if it gets about 20 mpg or more in city, or about 28 or more on highway.
