The average miles per gallon (MPG) for most 2025 gasoline-powered cars is expected to be around 36 MPG in real-world driving conditions. This reflects an improvement over previous years, though the regulatory Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standard for 2025 aims for a fleet-wide average of 54.5 MPG, which is based on a testing procedure not directly comparable to everyday driving
. In general, anything above 33 MPG combined (city and highway) is considered good gas mileage in 2025, and many modern vehicles, including hybrids and efficient gasoline cars, can exceed this figure
. Typical MPG ranges by vehicle type are approximately:
- Compact cars: 25 to 35 MPG
- Sedans and midsize cars: 20 to 30 MPG (with hybrids exceeding 50 MPG)
- SUVs and trucks: 15 to 20 MPG (with hybrids achieving 39+ MPG)
Some specific 2025 models known for good gas mileage include the Toyota Prius, Hyundai Elantra, Toyota Camry, and Honda Accord, all rated over 33 MPG combined
. In summary, most 2025 cars will average about 36 miles per gallon of gasoline, with good gas mileage starting at 33 MPG and hybrids or highly efficient models exceeding that significantly
