Fuel cost and CO2
Assuming 15,000 miles a year with 55% of them in the city and premium gasoline at $5.48 per gallon, fuelling the most efficient version comes to about $4,850 a year.
Tailpipe CO2 is 519 g/mile for the most efficient version.
Rated versions
In the city the most efficient version is rated 14 and on the highway 22, 8 better on the open road. 4 versions are rated for 2024. The most efficient, Continental GT: 4.0 L, 8 cyl, Automatic (AM-S8), AWD, gets 17 MPG; the least efficient listed, Continental GTC: 6.0 L, 12 cyl, Automatic (AM-S8), AWD, gets 14 MPG, a gap of 3 MPG. With the file's assumptions that gap is worth about $1,000 a year in fuel.
