Where it stands
The two-seaters rated for 2019 run from 16 to 108 MPGe, with a median of 18 MPGe.
In its class, just behind it is the Ferrari 488 GTB at 18 MPG.
Electric models use no fuel and have no tailpipe CO2. Efficiency is given in MPGe, the miles driven on 33.7 kilowatt-hours of electricity, which is the energy in one gallon of gasoline. The annual cost is electricity at $0.15 per kWh.
Fuel cost and CO2
Assuming 15,000 miles a year with 55% of them in the city and electricity at $0.15 per kWh, fuelling the most efficient version comes to about $700 a year. That is $3,850 less than the two-seaters median of $4,550.
It has no tailpipe emissions, so the CO2 column is zero; the emissions from making the electricity are not part of this figure.
Rated versions
It does better in town than on the road: 124 in the city against 94 on the highway, a gap of 30. 2 versions are rated for 2019. The most efficient, EQ fortwo (coupe): electric motor, Automatic (A1), RWD, gets 108 MPGe; the least efficient listed, EQ fortwo (convertible): electric motor, Automatic (A1), RWD, gets 102 MPGe, a gap of 6 MPGe. With the file's assumptions that gap is worth about $50 a year in fuel.
