21 MPG combined reflects what you can expect from a rear-wheel-drive sports sedan with a strong twin-turbo V6. The 2022 Genesis G70 RWD 3.3L isn’t bought for saving gas; it’s chosen for how fun it is to drive, its luxury features, and how it looks. Fuel economy isn’t the main thing its buyers care about, who are okay with using a little more gas for the 365 horsepower.

City and highway performance

The EPA estimates the 2022 Genesis G70 RWD 3.3L at 18 MPG in the city and 27 MPG on the highway. The city number shows how much gas it uses when you’re stopping and starting, where the engine is often idling or accelerating. The highway number indicates the engine can be more efficient when driving at a steady speed, but even then, using the available power will change the real-world results. Drivers who accelerate smoothly and predict traffic are more likely to see numbers close to the EPA’s estimates, but those who drive harder will see fuel economy drop.

Annual fuel cost

The EPA estimates the annual fuel cost for the 2022 Genesis G70 RWD 3.3L at $2,750. This is based on driving 15,000 miles per year and using national average fuel prices. Remember that this is just an estimate, and your fuel costs may change depending on how you drive, the fuel you use, and fuel prices where you live. Someone who mostly drives in the city and likes to drive fast will probably spend more than this, while someone who mostly drives on the highway and drives more carefully might spend less. Always check all Genesis fuel economy data before deciding if this brand is right for you. Also, check G70 MPG across all years to see if a more efficient version is available that still works for you.

Real-world expectations

The EPA provides a standard estimate, but real-world fuel economy often varies, and G70 drivers see this. Drivers who like to use the G70’s power may see average MPG numbers closer to the high teens. However, drivers who focus on efficiency and spend more time on the highway could see MPG numbers in the low 30s. How you drive has a big effect. This is a performance sedan, and driving it like one will use more fuel.

How it compares

The G70’s fuel economy is about average for its class. The BMW 340i, another rear-wheel-drive sports sedan with a turbocharged inline-six, gets an EPA-estimated 26 MPG combined. The Audi S4, with all-wheel drive, gets about 24 MPG combined. The Lexus IS 350 RWD, with its V6, gets 23 MPG combined. Small differences can add up. For buyers in this class, performance and features are often more important than slightly better fuel economy. Buyers make trade-offs: fun driving versus saving gas. Someone choosing the G70 wants a mix of luxury, performance, and style, accepting its fuel use.

Tips to maximize efficiency

Use the G70’s drive mode selector. The Eco mode changes engine and transmission settings to save fuel. It might make the throttle less responsive, but it can improve MPG, particularly in city driving. See how this mode affects your driving and change it as needed.

Keep your tires inflated. Low tires increase rolling resistance, which uses more fuel. Check your tire pressure often and inflate them to the recommended PSI, which is on the sticker inside the driver’s door. This helps.

Avoid idling. Letting the engine idle wastes fuel. If you’re stopped for longer than a minute, turn off the engine. The G70’s engine restarts fast, which makes this a good way to save fuel.

Accelerate and brake smoothly. Fast acceleration and hard braking use more fuel. Predict traffic and accelerate and decelerate slowly. Smooth driving saves fuel and makes driving more pleasant.

Reduce drag. Remove things from the roof or trunk, as they can increase drag and use more fuel. Even keeping the windows up on the highway can help a little. Anything that helps the car move through the air better will save fuel.
