What it costs to fuel
Across its configurations, the 2016 CT costs about $1,550 to $1,550 a year to fuel at the EPA's 15,000-mile basis, averaging roughly $1,550. Over five years that is about $7,750 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 CT configuration saves about $3,750 in fuel over five years; less efficient versions spend more.
For context, the average combined economy of compact cars in this dataset is about 29 MPG. The CT sits roughly 13 MPG above that mark at its midpoint, making it more efficient than average for its EPA class.
