Fuel economy by year

How it compares

Against the average two seaters in this dataset (about 23 MPG), the NSX sits roughly 2 MPG below that mark on average, making it a thirstier-than-average choice for its class.

Five-year fuel cost

Fuelling a NSX for five years at the EPA's 15,000-mile basis costs roughly $19,000 to $19,000, averaging about $19,000 across the versions here. That is the energy bill alone — it excludes insurance, maintenance and depreciation, which for most owners together exceed what goes into the tank.

How it changed over time

Between 2017 and 2020 the NSX's average combined economy improved from about 21 to 21 MPG. Redesigns, new engines and added hybrid or electric versions are usually what move the number, so the year you choose can matter as much as the model.

Best year for fuel economy

The 2020 NSX has the strongest average combined economy in this database at about 21 MPG, while the 2017 is the lowest at about 21 MPG. If running cost is your priority, that is the year to target on the used market; later years may add equipment or safety features instead.
