The Dodge Dart is, correctly, advertised as getting up to 41 mpg, highway. That mileage comes on the Aero model, with the 1.4 liter turbocharged engine and a manual transmission; with an automatic, it’s 40 mpg. Move up to the Dodge Dart GT, though, and gas mileage drops precipitously. That is not entirely unexpected, since the focus of the GT is performance, but the magnitude of the drop might surprise some potential buyers. The automatic-transmission Dodge Dart GT is officially rated at 21 city, 30 highway, using 4.2 gallons per hundred miles (combined). With a manual transmission, the Dart GT comes in at 23 city, 33 highway. That mileage does beat the V6-powered Dodge Avenger, which is presumably similar in straight-line performance though not agility, and is rated at 19/29. The full-size Chrysler 300C V6 checks in at 19/31.
