What it costs to fuel
Across its configurations, the 2017 Mirage costs about $1,650 to $1,850 a year to fuel at the EPA's 15,000-mile basis, averaging roughly $1,762. Over five years that is about $8,812 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 Mirage configuration saves about $3,250 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 Mirage sits roughly 8 MPG above that mark at its midpoint, making it more efficient than average for its EPA class.
