Fuel economy by year
| Year | Combined | Annual fuel | Versions |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2019 | 20-25 MPG | $3,200-$4,000 | 5 |

How it compares
Against the average compact cars in this dataset (about 29 MPG), the G70 sits roughly 6 MPG below that mark on average, making it a thirstier-than-average choice for its class.
Five-year fuel cost
Fuelling a G70 for five years at the EPA's 15,000-mile basis costs roughly $16,000 to $20,000, averaging about $18,000 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.
The range within the range
Economy across the G70 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 G70 check which version you are looking at before comparing its running cost to another car.
How it changed over time
Between 2019 and 2020 the G70's average combined economy improved from about 22 to 22 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 G70 has the strongest average combined economy in this database at about 22 MPG, while the 2019 is the lowest at about 22 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.
