Any word on the official MPG figures?
What's the apx. gas mileage expected?
Hello, I'm writing from Italy. Reading various magazines and websites, the actual kilometers per liter here is about 16-17 for a 1.4 mulitjet petroil engine. I don't whether it's the same engine as in the states. This figure is based on an average of mixed road consumption (city, freeway & outer city). If you do the math and convert is to MPG you 40 and over. The declared consumption by the manufacturer is always higher. At least 20% or even higher. I don't know why, but this is the same with any car manufactuer here in Europe. I am putting a link of an Italian website that made the test drive. Good luck and enjoy you new fiat 500! It's a great car. Fiat is selling tons of them here and in Europe.
