Fuel economy by year

How it compares

Against the average two seaters in this dataset (about 23 MPG), the CR-Z sits roughly 12 MPG above that mark on average, making it a relatively efficient choice for its class.

Five-year fuel cost

Fuelling a CR-Z for five years at the EPA's 15,000-mile basis costs roughly $9,000 to $9,750, averaging about $9,375 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 CR-Z varies by about 3 MPG between its most and least frugal versions, which run on hybrid. Engine size, turbocharging, drivetrain and even wheel size explain most of that gap, so when you shop a used CR-Z check which version you are looking at before comparing its running cost to another car.
