2016 Mini Cooper Compact car – 30 miles per gallon

Let’s start with the UK’s favorite Mini Cooper model. Despite of the class leading Mini Cooper engines or number of doors, the 2016 Mini Cooper comes with a six-speed manual transmission and a handy gadget for hill-guide and automatic rev-matching for charming and simple downshifts, at the same time a six-speed automatic transmission also offered with rev-matching technology. For further fuel savings, BMW has offered stop-start feature that shuts off the engine automatically upon the stop, even it’s a traffic signal or a parking bay. The base engine is a turbocharged 1.5 litre three-cylinder engine that develops 134 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque. A two-door version with an automatic transmission takes only 7.4 seconds to reach the pace of 0-60-mph. That's a rapid time and second best compare to the Ford Fiesta, the best hatchback and top seller in the UK. But the vehicle was unable get a position in our list because several unspecified reasons. Fuel economy can also be spectacular, remarkably best on the bases that the available performance. The EPA estimates 32 mpg combined, 28 in the town and 39 motorway for the 2-door with the manual, even as the manual 4-door returns 33 mpg combined 29 miles per gallon in the city traffic and 39 miles per gallon on the motorway. Both automatic versions return about 1 mpg less than the manual transmissions and it is obvious. The Cooper S is offered with two engines where a 1.5 litre and the second is 2.0 litre 4 cylinder engine that generates 189 horsepower and 207 lb-ft of torque. Ordering the automatic transmission that further adds up with paddle shifters. It takes only 6.3 seconds to reach the 62 miles per hour sprint. A manually managed convertible was fairly slower at 6.8 seconds. Fuel economy is estimated at 29 mpg manual transmission and 27 mpg with the automatic transmission.

2017 Ford Mustang EcoBoost – A real Muscle with 25mpg

The 2017 Ford Mustang is offered in a 2-door, 4-seat coupe. The 2017 Ford Mustang V6 Fastback is powered by a 3.7L, 6-cylinder Ford Engine mated to a manual transmission that returns an EPA estimated 17 miles per gallon in the city traffic and 28 miles per gallon on the motorway. The highest of the model line-up is 2017 Ford Mustang GT premium Convertible, is powered by a 5.0 litre, eight-cylinder engine coupled with a manual transmission. This engine is designed for performance rather than economy and it still manages to return 15 miles per gallon in the city traffic and 25 miles per gallon on the motorway. The common features of the Ford Mustang EcoBoost include Ford’s fuel-saving technology called EcoBoost in the 2.3 litre I-4 that produces 310hp through it intercooled turbocharger setup, 6-speed manual transmission with overdrive function, 4-wheel anti-lock brakes (ABS), side curtain airbags, curtains for the 1st and 2nd row, overhead airbags, driver and passenger knee airbag, airbag sensor, computerized air con, 18" aluminum alloys and the best wheels, cruise control, ABS and driveline traction manage, AdvanceTrac digital stability control system.

2016 BMW 4-series – 27 miles per gallon

The 2016 BMW 4 series offered in both rear wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations, however BMW uses the xDrive technology in order to shift power over all the four wheels at the same time. An eight-speed automatic gearbox has been offered on all models as standard. A manual transmission is a cheap alternative for rear wheel drive coupes and the AWD 435i coupe. In an effort to get maximum fuel economy, each transmission comes with an ultra-modern technology which was introduced few years ago, called stop/start that turns off the engine upon car stops. The 428i model employs 2.0-litre 4-cylinder BMW 428i engines exclusively powered with turbo charging rated at 240 horsepower and 255 pound-foot of torque. The 428i is a coupe with the automatic transmission that can reach 60 mph in just over 5 seconds, a massive speed for a four-cylinder model in this segment. When it comes to the fuel economy of the 4 series, EPA states that the entire series has been rated at 27 miles gallon on average, where 428i has exactly the same figures. It returns 23 miles per gallon in the city traffic and 35 miles per gallon while cruising on the motorway however, the average fuel economy is exactly 27 miles per gallon. If you are looking for a higher ranked model which has a powerful engine, than you will face a dent in fuel economies as well because it hardly possible that you can get both power and fuel economy at the same time. The 435i has a turbocharged 3.0 litre straight six engine capable of producing 300 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque. These engines are equipped with the six-speed manual gearboxes charged from zero to 60 mph in 5.6 seconds. Although this speed time is almost similar to the 428i but is sufficient for this group of vehicles but simply you can say unimpressive! When compare to the relatively lower powered but more cost effective 428i models. The 435i models return only 24 miles per gallon on average and very poor city cruisers where they only return 19 miles per gallon; they can hardly get 30 miles per gallon on the motorway cruise though. The xDrive automatic and manual rear wheel drive models have no big difference in the fuel economy. They hardly have a difference of one mile per gallon.

Each transmission includes shift paddles on the steering wheel, and all models have an automatic start / stop system that turns off the engine when the automobile stops to avoid wasting of fuel. Under the hood of this luxurious coupe, the Mercedes E250 Bluetec engine depends on a turbocharged 2.1-litre diesel powered 4-cylinder engine rated at 195 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque.

The E400 model is even muscular and packs a turbocharged 3.0 litre V6 that produces 329 hp and 354 lb-ft of torque, while the class-leading E550 enhances the fun of generating power to a turbocharged 4.7-litre V8 which is pumping out 402 hp and 443 lb-feet. Mercedes is famous for its engines, ex-host at BBC Top Gear Jeremy Clarkson once said that merc gives a rocket power to its cars, even a tiny car can have 1000hp engine. Sooner or later, the E63 AMG S will get a turbocharged 5.5 litre V8 that cranks out 577 hp and 590 lb-ft. The E250's respectable 7.6-second effort to the E 63 AMG S saloon's sizzling 3.7 seconds sprint, 4 seconds for the E63 AMG S wagon, with the E350 saloon close to splitting the variance at 6.0 seconds in all-wheel-powered form. The E550 versions are significantly swift, as they're capable to rip off 5-second 0-60 bursts. We clocked an E400 Cabriolet with the faster V6 at 5.3 seconds. As one would hope from this kind of varied group of powertrains, EPA-estimated petrol economy varies largely.
