How it compares

Against the average midsize cars in this dataset (about 32 MPG), the 200 sits roughly 8 MPG below that mark on average, making it a thirstier-than-average choice for its class.

Five-year fuel cost

Fuelling a 200 for five years at the EPA's 15,000-mile basis costs roughly $12,000 to $14,750, averaging about $13,375 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.

The range within the range

Economy across the 200 varies by about 5 MPG between its most and least frugal versions, which run on gasoline. Engine size, turbocharging, drivetrain and even wheel size explain most of that gap, so when you shop a used 200 check which version you are looking at before comparing its running cost to another car.

How it changed over time

Between 2016 and 2017 the 200's average combined economy improved from about 24 to 24 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 2017 200 has the strongest average combined economy in this database at about 25 MPG, while the 2016 is the lowest at about 25 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.
