What it costs to fuel
Across its configurations, the 2016 CR-Z costs about $1,800 to $1,950 a year to fuel at the EPA's 15,000-mile basis, averaging roughly $1,875. Over five years that is about $9,375 in fuel alone before maintenance, insurance and depreciation — which is why the running cost, not just the price, decides what a car really costs.
Relative to an average new vehicle, the most efficient CR-Z configuration saves about $2,500 in fuel over five years; less efficient versions spend more.
For context, the average combined economy of two seaters in this dataset is about 23 MPG. The CR-Z sits roughly 12 MPG above that mark at its midpoint, making it more efficient than average for its EPA class.
